Why choose the McFarlane Nose Fork?
The nose gear fork on Cessna aircraft carries every taxi load, crosswind roll-out, and hard arrival the aircraft will experience. When it needs replaced, whether you're complying with AD 71-22-02 or your fork is bent, cracked, or unserviceable, the McFarlane nose fork is the straightforward choice. MC0442503-6 is machined from stronger materials and more resistant to stress-corrosion cracking than the OEM. The alternative used option from a salvage yard has unknown load history, no traceability, and the risk of hidden corrosion and fatigue damage. For Cessna 172, 175, and 182 series aircraft subject to AD 71-22-02, the FAA has also granted an AMOC approving MC0442503-6 as compliant with the AD.
