Aeroprakt is particularly good at keeping on top of any potential problems and rapidly issuing a bulletin if needed - contrast this with some manufacturers who prefer not to dent sales through acknowledging a problem.
​Aeroprakt always has at least two aircraft - often more! - in continual use at their own Aeroprakt club airfield. Very often these aircraft have completed many more flying hours and landings, with a wide variety of different pilots, than the average private owner. Any remedies required are first tested extensively on these aircraft before they are released to the broader base of owners and pilots.
Not all bulletins apply to all aircraft. It is the owner's responsibility to check their own aircraft serial number to decide whether a particular change is required to their own aircraft or component.

After Aeroprakt issues a safety bulletin, all subsequent aircraft are manufactured incorporating the mandated (or sometimes recommended) change(s) required by the bulletin.

​Bulletins are usually categorised into:

  1. Mandatory, the change must be incorporated, sometimes before the next flight or sometimes at the next scheduled service. An example of a mandatory bulletin would be one which may fundamentally affect the safety of the aircraft and its occupants

  2. Advisory, the manufacturer recommends the change but does not mandate it. An example of an advisory bulletin might be one where the basic safety is not affected but the change may help improve service life of a component, or minimize the chance of a potential future problem;

  3.  Optional, it is the owner's choice whether to action the safety bulletin or not.  An example of this type of bulletin might be the incorporation of an oil thermostat to stabilize engine oil temperatures in certain flying conditions. ​

​Note, This section covers bulletins related to the aircraft airframe. For all engine and propeller bulletins please visit the relevant company sources.
