John; I already have one of those $299 inspection tools.
Unfortunately,
it will not meet the requirements of the AD. The AD specifically requires
a
150 watt light source, rotation of the scope's tip of at least 40 degrees,
and magnification of approximately 10X at 5 mm. This is why I commented on
the proposed AD before it was issued. I do not believe scopes meeting
those
requirements are readily available for less than $500, as stated in the
proposed AD.
If you are going to sign your name that you inspected the Coupe
with a
scope, I recommend that you have one that will meet the requirements.
(Personally, I could not understand why the FAA would require 10X
magnification when you could alternatively cut holes and inspect with the
naked eye)
