ICON Aircraft’s Continued Operational Safety (COS) Program, ICA003321, is in place to monitor the safety of the A5 fleet, assess any known or potential safety of flight issues, and determine the method necessary of alerting owners/operators of these issues and the corrective action if necessary. The notice of corrective action can be done by three methods: by means of a safety directive, service bulletin, or a service letter.

A safety directive/alert requires action to correct the unsafe condition that is likely to occur in other aircraft of the same model. Safety directives/alerts are similar to Airworthiness Directives, however they are not approved by the FAA. They are required by the owner/operator to correct an unsafe condition and stay within compliance of the ASTM design specification.

Service Bulletins are notices of actions considered necessary by the manufacturer to prevent an unsafe condition from developing in the fleet. They may be mandatory, at the manufacturer’s discretion - this will be noted in the Service Bulletin as applicable. Service letters do not necessarily recommend future action but are primarily for the release of continued airworthiness information.

A safety directive/alert requires immediate action from the owner/operator. Safety directives/alerts are similar to Airworthiness Directives, however they are not approved by the FAA. They are required by the owner/operator to stay within compliance of the ASTM design specification. Service Directives are required to be complied with. Service Bulletins recommend optional maintenance tasks and a service letter provides important information. Service letters do not necessarily recommend future action but are primarily for the release of continued airworthiness information.

When corrective actions to the aircraft are required the following information will be included, either directly or by reference, within the notice.

ICON will attempt to contact affected owners using the contact information on file. This information can be obtained by contacting ICON Owner Support via the following channels:
