Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9360 · Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Gliders
Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Gliders
This AD applies to Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH HK 36 R SUPER DIMONA.
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.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain HOAC AUSTRIA GmbH (HOAC) HK 36R "Super Dimona" gliders. This action requires inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion, replacing the exhaust system if corrosion is found, and installing a carbon monoxide detector. Reports received by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of severe exhaust system corrosion on the affected gliders, including one of excessive corrosion (rusting through), prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent carbon monoxide leakage caused by a corroded exhaust system, which, if not detected and corrected, could lead to passenger injuries.
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.
