Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10213 · Glasflugel Models Standard Libelle and Standard Libelle 201 B Sailplanes
Glasflugel Models Standard Libelle and Standard Libelle 201 B Sailplanes
Models Standard Libelle and Standard Libelle 201 B Sailplanes (all serial numbers), certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Glasflugel Models Standard Libelle and Standard Libelle 201 B sailplanes. This action requires inspecting the aileron operating lever's actuating shaft welded seams for cracks; modifying or replacing the actuating shaft, if cracked; and, if no cracks are found, eventually modifying or replacing the shaft. Cracks found in the welded seams of the actuating shaft prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent cracks in the aileron operating lever's actuating shaft welded seams, which, if not detected and corrected, could cause 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.
