Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-18055 · Starting
GROB-WERKE Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2015-09-06. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to GROB-WERKE Model G115EG airplanes, all serial numbers through 82323/E, and Model G120A airplanes, all serial numbers through 85063, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain GROB-WERKE Models G115EG and G120A airplanes. 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 a defective starter solenoid. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the actions in paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD:
(1) Within the next 30 days after February 9, 2015 (the effective date of this AD), inspect the starter following the Accomplishment Instructions in GROB Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1078-196, dated July 14, 2014, or GROB Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1121-144, dated July 14, 2014, as applicable.
(2) If any damage is found on the starter during the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, replace the starter with a serviceable part. Do the replacement following the Accomplishment Instructions in GROB Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1078-196, dated July 14, 2014, or GROB Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1121-144, dated July 14, 2014, as applicable.
