Van’s Aircraft recommends that owners and/or operators of all RV models comply with the applicable recommendations in SAIB HQ-14-16 per Van's RV-12 Notification 14-07-03.

From the parts lists. Found that Van's supplied 29 locknuts for my RV-12.


Empenage Kit
Bag 2671 6 - MS21042-6

Fuselage Kit
Bag 2720 6 - MS21042-08, 2 - MS21042-3

Wing Kit
Bag 2624 2 - MS21042-08

Finish Kit

Avionics Kit

Spent a little time looking. Found all of them BUT one. If someone finds it in the plans, please let all of us know! Keep in mind, my plans are 4 years old, so Van's may have re-numbered some of the plan pages.

Found a few others by doing a .pdf word search on all of the page revisions that Van's has posted.

For those with later kits, the locknuts are used in the Skyview/Transponder installation, the new fuel pump drain line, the new fuel tank vent line, the new canopy latch microswitch. They may be used elsewhere in the lighting kit which I do not have.

They are also used in the very first iteration of the fuel tank lexan window (which were removed with new new lexan window in the S.B.).

If anyone has a complete set of plan pages in .pdf format, a complete search would be trivial. I only have the pages that have been revised.

Anyone have a COMPLETE set of plans in .pdf??

How about the one securing the fuel tank vent line clamp backside the bulkhead rear of the fuel tank?
 
Because this is a Sticky thread, is this Notification relevant to new builds? RV12is started in 2018. If it is still relevant, does anyone have a new link to the SAIB HQ-14-16 the posted link doesn't seem to return anything except a 404 error.

Thanks
