CASA Australia and EASA lift grounding of GA-8 Airvan
25 July 2019
Australian and European regulators decided to lift
the grounding of the GA8 Airvan.
The
grounding came into effect on July 20, following a fatal accident on 14 July 2019,
when a GA8 Airvan skydiving plane crashed in Sweden. At 4000 meters altitude,
the aircraft suffered a separation of a wing.
Since the
emergency AD was issued, CASA Australia informed EASA that the results of
the physical inspection of the accident aircraft indicate that it appears to
have been exposed to aerodynamic loads beyond those for which the type design
is certificated.
No evidence
was found to indicate that an unsafe condition exists or could develop that
would warrant further grounding.
