injected planes, no more owner oil changes, contact AOPA

if you do not have RSA-5 or RSA-10 injection servos or have not had maint
done on that engine since Aug 2006.
A one time inspection to confirm the part numbers and log inspection, then
write it off as N/A by the A&P.

I did not see any reference to a permanent fix to do away with the 50hr
repetitive inspection. For those that need it.

AD 2008-06-51 prohibits injected (mostly Lycoming) aircraft owners
from changing their own oil (really makes the plane unairworthy after
an oil change until you get an A&P sign off).
Talking to AOPA about this I really don't get the impression that they
think this is very important. I would encourage everyone to send a
quick email to AOPA and let them know that the FAA needs to find
another way to do this AD other than restricting oil changes.

It's a rather fluid situation. Precision's latest revision to PRS-107 is

and lists terminating action for their company SB by installing a new
2577258 gasket via their instructions and stamping the hex plug with a
letter "G". In a round-about way this action terminates the AD because when
completed, the servo will no longer contain the 365533 gasket to which the
AD refers.

true.. that is a "round about way".. I would expect that there would be a
revised AD forthcoming from the good ole FAA to recognize the "AD
Terminating" procedure.

Yea, as in remove the service (4 hrs labor) send it to a fuel shop
then reinstall it (4 hours labor). Removing the nut by anyone other
than a fuel service shop voids the warranty and disrupts the correct
flow.

No one will do this every 50 hours. Since you have to do it oil change
it will already be done. Now you have to pay an A&P to do your oil
change (or just pay him the 1/2 hr labor to do the 5 min AD and have
him sit the other 25 minutes on your dime).
