Emergency Airworthiness Directives (EAD) for Pilatus training aircrafts

It began a few weeks ago with an 1st Emergency Airworthiness Directive for the Harley-type buckle assemblies in the seat harness of the ejection seat on Pilatus PC-21 training aircraft. French Air Force recognised a problem and informed Martin Baker/Pilatus and the respective governments:

Pilatus PC-21 is the latest turboprop-powered advanced military training aircraft and in use by the Air Forces of Australia (49), France (17), Jordan (12), Qatar (24), Saudi Arabia (55), Singapore (19), Spain (24, 1st delivery end of 2020; will replace mainly the CASA C-101 Aviojet, but will also take over advanced training which is currently carried out on the T-35 Pillan), Switzerland (8), United Arab Ermirates (25) and the United Kingdom (2 for advanced training in ETPS).

At this moment (December 23rd), there are all modern military training aircraft systems of Pilatus Aircraft Ltd listed with the same problem of requiring a specific inspection.

Hunterfest 2018 - Oldtimers on former Swiss Air Force base of St. Stephan

End of August, like every year, thousands of aviation enthusiasts are travelling to the Simmental Valley to the former military airfield of SST. Always the same days like Dittinger Flugtage Airshow near the german border, only in Sankt Stephan (ICAO-Code: LSTS) you have some nice mountains in the background or to climb for taking pictures from above. And never trust the meteorologists in the alps - most time the weather is predicted much worse then in reality ;)

Some impressions from this years edition training day - more infos on the official homepage !
