Hi,

Due to Airworthiness Directive CF-2023-50R1, issued in December 2023, requiring an inspection of the nose landing gear strut and a change by July 2025 at the latest, I carried out this change on my personal aircraft (F-GNJX).

During installation by my mechanic, we realized that my aircraft already had the latest version of the landing gear strut (and therefore compatible with this AD).

So I sent the NLG for non-destructive testing using eddy current. There are no cracks, fissures or signs of fatigue.

I'm selling it at a good price because I don't know what to do with it. It has a FORM1 issued by the certified shop that carried out the inspection, and is available immediately.
The strut version is D41-3223-10-00_2, note that this version does not have the holes for fairing mounting.

Contact me if you're interested in one of your DA40s.

Aeronautically.

P.S: I can ship it in any country.

Curious, why did your plane have it replaced already? Clearly a 2001 DA40 would not have the _2 part as the original install.

Hi Steve,

When I bought my DA40 the NLG has already been changed in 2012 or 2013.
In the ton of paper that I had with the plane, I saw the invoice that stated that the part D41-3223-10-00_1 has been installed (this is why I decided to change it), but when my IA removed it from the plane he has been able to identify that it is a D41-3223-10-00_2 (by measuring the thickness through a hole).
I checked again the invoice from 2012 AND also the FORM1 from 2012, and I discovered that the FORM1 says that it is a D41-3223-10-00_2.

To make a long story short: I changed it for nothing…

This is why I decided to spend a few hundred more euros to make it checked with Eddy current to have a certificat of conformity and being able to sell it second hand in the safest condition for both the buyer and I.
