Individual control surfaceskins were not approved.

Control surfaces made for the De Havilland DHC-2 by Peninsula Air Metals and sold as individual parts to customers for repairs are the subject of a recent FAA unapproved parts notification (UPN). The purpose of the UPN is to advise aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, maintenance organizations, parts suppliers and distributors regarding individual control surface skins that were produced by the repair station as components that were not approved and in at least one case, the work orders indicate that the material thickness was incorrect.
