Agricultural Aircraft Safety Review
Detailed Safety Review on Agricultural
Aircraft Operations
Major Findings:
Step change in reported defects since the
introduction of Part 137 in October 1994
(which introduced the CAM8 increased
gross weight provisions)
Another step increase occurred around
2001, which coincided with the widespread
introduction of turbine conversions of the
FU24-950 Series aircraft
