4.4 Structural Limitations
The airframe composite structure of the STEMME S10-VT (including various STEMME P/
N’s) is currently life
limited to 6000 h of flight time.
Extension of service life above 6000 h can be achieved only by alteration from replacement (TBR) to TBO
and introduction of an additional overhaul at 6000 h and a subsequent mandated overhaul interval (TBO) for
continued airworthiness. The TBO change will be notified by a revision of this chapter.
The additional overhaul will include a comprehensive inspection of the airframe carried out in accordance
with approved data based on an agency approved TBO program.
