Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9509 · Glasflugel Gliders
Glasflugel Gliders
This AD applies to Glasflugel Mosquito.
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 Glasflugel Model Mosquito sailplanes. This action requires modifying the mounting studs on the lifting/tilting frame of the canopy system, repetitively inspecting the mounting stud, and incorporating flight manual revisions that specify a warning on emergency canopy deployment failure. Canopy system problems discovered during routine checks and periodic inspections of these sailplanes prompted the proposed action. The actions specified in this proposed AD are intended to prevent canopy system failure, which could result in loss of control of the sailplane.
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.
