Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14064 · CENTRAIR 101 Series Gliders
CENTRAIR 101 Series Gliders
This AD affects Models 101, 101A, 101AP, and 101P gliders, serial numbers 101xx001 through 101xx285 and 101D0501 through 101D0530, certificated in any category.
The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain CENTRAIR 101 series gliders. This AD requires you to replace non- strengthened rudder pedals with reinforced rudder pedals. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. We are issuing this AD to replace the non-strengthened rudder pedals and to prevent failure of the rudder controls. This failure could lead to loss of directional control of the glider.
To address this problem, you must do the following:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Replace any non-strengthened rudder pedals with reinforced rudder pedals (i) the left-hand reinforced rudder pedal is part number (P/N) $Y185A; and (ii) the right-hand reinforced rudder pedal is P/N $Y196A | Within the next 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) after June 6, 2005 (the effective date of this AD), unless already done | Follow Société Nouvelle Centrair Service Bulletin No. 101-24, dated March 5, 2003 (this is the date of French AD 2003-095(a) that transmitted the service bulletin). |
| (2) Do not install any non-strengthened rudder pedal as specified in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) and (e)(1)(ii) of this AD | As of June 6, 2005 (the effective date of this AD) | Not Applicable. |
