AD 2020-13-01 Airworthiness Directives; Daher Aircraft Design, LLC (Type Certificate Previously Held by Quest Aircraft Design, LLC), Airplanes
Makes named: quest, daher. Models named: KODIAK 100. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Daher Aircraft Design, LLC (type certificate previously held by Quest Aircraft Design, LLC), Model KODIAK 100 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) after August 17, 2020 (the effective date of this AD), inspect the airplane to determine if an NLG fork part number (P/N) 100-410-7001 (type A) or an NLG fork P/N 100-410-7013 (type B) is installed. If you determine that an NLG fork P/N 100-410-7013 (type B) is installed during the inspection, no further action is required by this AD. If a review of the maintenance records can identify the P/N NLG fork that is installed, you may use a maintenance records review in lieu of inspecting the airplane to determine if an NLG fork P/N 100-410-7001 (type A) or an NLG fork P/N 100-410-7013 (type B) is installed.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports from the manufacturer of fatigue cracks on the nose landing gear (NLG) fork. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and prevent fatigue cracking of the NLG fork. The unsafe condition, if not corrected, could result in separation of the NLG fork with consequent reduced control on landing. If the NLG fork separates on an unimproved surface, the risk of the NLG digging in and the airplane overturning on the ground increases.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
