The Astir is unserviceable for the time being. Some disbonding was discovered on the stiffener/web that extends from the front left wing collet, it is bonded to the fuselage wall probably to add support to the fuselage side.
We can probably repair this in house but need a little more time to assess and plan.
Meanwhile, please do NOT derig the Astir, we may want to carry out further inspections while it is rigged.
Thanks all,
