Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10593 · Alexander Schleicher Segelflugzeugbau Model AS-K13 Sailplanes
Alexander Schleicher Segelflugzeugbau Model AS-K13 Sailplanes
Model AS-K13 sailplanes, serial numbers 13618 through 13689 (with or without an A.B. suffix), certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Alexander Schleicher Segelflugzeugbau (Alexander Schleicher) Model AS-K13 sailplanes. This AD requires inspecting the main spar fitting for excessive tolerance, traces, movement, etc., and repairing the main spar fitting if any of the above conditions exist. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the main spar caused by excessive movement of the main spar fitting, 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.
