Yes ... and we made sure it was not hittting... the company is aware of it.. so is our local FAA office... as we brought
it to their attention... you can adjust it so it doesn't hit.. but, that is not the way they want it from the
manufacture... they claim that some do and some don't... but, if they are going to call for your plane to be taken
down and checked... and work done on it... make sure they only modify their system... after all its just like the old
one except for the new'er actuators... the older system came real close also but, it missed by just that much.. and
that was all that mattered...
Keep us posted as to what they found... I am sure it won't be a AD that they will make but, it would most likely be a
service bull... and that won't get to all the people who should be in the know... most are finding out info from web
pages like these.. and if they are on a subscription from each product manufactur... best to just get the word
around...
Now as to the limits... I am sure you will never get to the point where the thing hits in normal flight... but, it does
change the limits and you are told that is as far as it goes... anything less and its interfearance... so it does and it is
...kinda thing...
By the way... you have a good AME... for not signing off anything that is not right... and making it known... we need more of them... as they keep you safe... even though it presents a problem... hope this helps.. GMAs
