Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15317 · DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Gliders
DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Gliders
This AD applies to DG Flugzeugbau GmbH DG-500MB.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: In some cases the electric motor of the spindle drive detached itself from the spindle drive, causing the powerplant to retract itself after engine shutdown. In another case the attachment fork on the spindle drive failed with the same consequences. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
