McPeck Aviation UPN

This FAA has issued an Unapproved Parts Notice (UPN) advising that “all articles produced and/or sold by
McPeck Aviation and/or Adam McPeck … do not have FAA production approval.”

The UPN advises the industry to look for articles that have the following characteristics:

“• Gaskets and O-rings are manufactured from a blue colored Fluorosilicone material.
• Cowl flap hardware kits contain a white colored acetyl resin washer.
• FAA Form 8130-3, Airworthiness Approval Tag, is not provided with the parts.
• Instrument panels have a supplemental type certificate design approval, but no FAA production approval.”

As usual, the the FAA asks distributors to look in their inventories for these parts, and “the FAA recommends that they be quarantined to prevent installation or use until a determination can be made regarding their eligibility for installation.”
