ICON A5 Model Guide
ICON A5 · Model Guide
Overview
The ICON A5 is a single-engine piston light sport aircraft built by ICON Aircraft of Vacaville, CA. The registry lists one variant, A5-B. The inputs hold no performance or weight figures, so this guide covers the service bulletins a buyer should confirm are closed in the logbook.
- Ask for logbook proof that service bulletins SB-051818, SB-092718, SB-122722 and SB-032118 were complied with.
- Each bulletin applies only to listed serial numbers, so check the airframe's serial number against every bulletin.
- ICON calls for a logbook entry for each completed bulletin, reported to ICON Customer Support and Service.
- No specs, performance or V-speeds were in the inputs. Take them from the Pilot Operating Handbook.

What should I check first on an ICON A5?
For an ICON A5, match the serial number to each service bulletin's affected list. Then look for the logbook entry showing compliance, reported to ICON Customer Support and Service.
Is there a fuel system issue on the ICON A5?
Yes. SB-092718 Rev B covers a fuel level sensor with a gasket in the wrong place, which can leak slightly. A washer under the jam nut marks a non-conforming unit that must be replaced.
Does the nose gear need attention?
On an ICON A5, SB-122722 Rev B says the nose gear actuator rod end jam nut may be under-torqued. It should be verified at 95-110 in-lbs unless the actuator was replaced after the effective date.
