Scary! How general is this incident? I bet an AD will follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

201Mooniac Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Wow, I was thinking it was the yoke casting that cracked, I didn't realize it was the shaft. Must have been a scary situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago The picture in the airworthiness sheet shows the yoke being cracked. Either can happen I suppose Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty close to home so it looks worse than it was. Like a good owner, I was more upset by the looming repair cost. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
