I’ve often had folks tell me that there are no AD’s on a particular model
aircraft. Often I know there are but finding them was difficult at times.
IIRC in the paper AD days there was also “ FRA”or similar. So you might
have to research Aeronca, Bellanca, Champion, FRA and later American
Champion. Often some were dead ends for a particular model. Aeronca
led to the L-2 and others as there were several TC’s there were owned by
still other folks. The Index helped some but not 100%.
Today I believe Univair holds most former Piper TC’s ; but not the PA-12.
FS 2003 is the current holder AFAIK.
This can be significant. The recent MD-11 crash may have more
implications for Boeing as the TC Holder rather than former holder
McDonnell- Douglas. Note I’m not offering legal opinions here.
