LAA Alert A-02-2026 - MCR-01 Tailplane Mounting Corrosion

23 Jul 2026

Alert A-02-2026 - MCR-01 Corrosion of Aluminium Alloy Wing and Tailplane Attachment Brackets


This Alert has been issued following the discovery of significant corrosion affecting the tailplane attachment brackets on an MCR-01 aircraft.


Owners should mitigate the risk by rigorous inspections and taking suitable preventative measures.


In addition to the existing requirement for periodic wing removal and inspection, we strongly recommend that the tailplane is also removed at the similar intervals for clearer view of the attachments.


Owners of MCR-01 aircraft are strongly advised to include this advice in their aircraft’s maintenance schedules.


Please refer to the Alert A-02-2026 HERE or below for full details and recommended checks.
