EASA Emergency AD Issued for CJs with Tamarack Winglets
EASA Emergency AD for Cessna CJs with Tamarack winglets requires deactivating the active load-alleviating system before continued flight.
EASA is calling for implementation of fixes incorporated in a Tamarack service bulletin issue April 2018 and another earlier this year to resolve the emergency airworthiness directive.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued an emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) requiring operators of EU-registered Cessna CitationJet/CJ1/CJ1+, CJ2, and CJ3 light jets fitted with Tamarack Aerospace active load-alleviation system (ATLAS) winglets to immediately deactivate those devices before continued flight. However, a Tamarack representative told AIN previously released modifications should address the agency’s concerns.
