Glasflugel Models H 301 “Libelle,” H 301B “Libelle,” Standard “Libelle,” and Standard Libelle-201B Sailplanes
This AD affects Models H 301 “Libelle,” H 301B “Libelle,” Standard “Libelle,” and Standard Libelle-201B sailplanes, all serial numbers, that are certificated in any category.
The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Glasflugel Models H 301 "Libelle," H 301B "Libelle," Standard "Libelle," and Standard Libelle-201B sailplanes. This AD requires you to replace the rudder actuator arm (manufactured according to drawing No. 301-45-10) with an improved design rudder actuator arm (manufactured following drawing No. 301-45-13). This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct damage to the rudder actuator arm, which could result in failure of the rudder actuator arm. This failure could result in reduced or loss of rudder control.
To address this problem, you must do the following:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Replace the rudder actuator arm (manufactured according to drawing No. 301-45-10) with an improved design actuator arm (manufactured following drawing No. 301-45-13) | Within the next 30 days after April 12, 2007 (the effective date of this AD), unless already done | Follow Glasfaser-Flugzeug-Service GmbH Hansjörg Streifeneder Technical Note No. 201-35 and No. 301-39, dated March 1, 2005. |
| (2) Do not install any rudder actuator arm (manufactured according to drawing No. 301-45-10) | As of April 12, 2007 (the effective date of this AD) | Not applicable. |
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
