Bob, can you comment on AD 2011-21-51?Â  Seems topical to the discussions a few days ago.

   It seems that Cessna attempted to get their corporate

   hands on all aircraft that had been shipped with that

   battery installation so that they could avoid having

   the airframe dinged with an AD. I hear that Cessna

   did due diligence in locating all the airplanes except

   for a few that were out of the country.



   Those few stragglers prompted the FAA to issue

   the AD and rightfully so.



   That lithium battle was lost but the war is

   not yet over. It's unfortunate that this should

   happen during such economically stressed times.

   The outcome of that skirmish will probably prompt

   at least a temporary retreat until the participants

   can regroup and new explorations financed.



   Rumor has it that A123 kinda put their foot into

   the smelly stuff when they convinced both Cessna

   and the FAA that their product would never fail

   in that manner . . .
