  1. Hi Peter

    How do you test the material in the wings of the A22L for the annual inspection? what fabric test do you preform?

    Thanks

    • Hi Matt – you need to use a fabric pressure tester. Any aero engineer approved for fabric work will have one and may be willing to check your fabric for a small fee. The testers themselves are $300-$450 if you want to buy one – check Aircraft Spruce or other aviation suppliers for details. Peter
