Effectivity: All Alta X
Require Action: Confirm boom strut integrity
INTRODUCTION
This service bulletin is being issued to alert all Alta X pilots to a new pre flight check we recommend.
BACKGROUND
During a recent test flight at Freefly we had a crash that was unrelated to this issue. During the crash a boom strut broke on an Alta X. This Alta X impacted the ground at 70mph so it was not surprising the strut broke, but it reminded us of how critical this assembly is for the Alta X. We have had no in flight failures of this part but want users to integrate a boom strut check into their normal pre / post flight ritual.
