Self-serve 100LL not available at the Lincoln Regional Airport

Posted on by

It looks like the 100LL self-serve pump at KLHM went down. The pump that runs the self-serve fuel station and allows the top filling of the AVGAS truck is broken. There’s about 300 gallons in the truck to work with while the service tech troubleshoots the problem. They’re working on an alternative solution to fill the AVGAS truck so they can fuel aircraft during business hours. Rich and Tony are working on a possible schedule to be out this weekend for a few hours if needed. They apologise for the inconvenience.

AD Affects 847 Alexandria Aviation LLC (Bellanca) Airplanes

Posted on by

On October 7, 2014, the FAA issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD) that affects certain models of Alexandria Aircraft LLC (type certificate previously held by Bellanca Aircraft Corp., Viking Aviation Inc., and Bellanca Inc.) airplanes. The AD supersedes a previous AD from 1975 (AD 75-20-06) that requires the aft fuselage structure near the top of the vertical side tubing to be inspected for cracks. AD 75-20-06 also calls for the installation of the manufacturer’s service repair kit as a terminating action for the repetitive inspections to repair any cracks found, but has since been found ineffective.

The new AD, effective November 12, 2014, removes the terminating action in the previous AD and requires continued repetitive inspections of the affected area for cracks and making all necessary replacements of cracked parts. This AD also changes the applicability to include all serial numbers. Access the AD here.
