Model G 103 Twin Astir Sailplanes, (serial numbers 3000 through 3291, with or without the suffix "T"), certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Burkhardt Grob Luft-und Raumfahrt, GmbH. (Grob) Model G 103 Twin Astir sailplanes. This action requires replacing the airbrake over-center lever and installing new inspection holes. The AD is the result of cracked airbrake over-center levers found during routine inspections. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an asymmetrical airbrake deployment, which could result in an uncontrollable roll and possible 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.
