Hartland, WI. Rapco, Inc. is not affected by this Airworthiness Directive. We do not share any vendors or any

 the failure of numerous flexible shear couplers on Parker Hannifin / Airborne Models 211CC, 211CC-9, 212CW,

Rapco, Inc. overhauls these Airborne vacuum pumps under our FAA & JAA Approved repair
