Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11320 · LET Aeronautical Works Model L-13 ``Blanik'' Sailplanes
LET Aeronautical Works Model L-13 ``Blanik'' Sailplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2016-11-13. Comply with the one in force.
Model L-13 "Blanik" sailplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all LET Aeronautical Works (LET) Model L-13 ``Blanik'' sailplanes. This AD requires painting (using a contrasting color, i.e., red paint) the left hand elevator drive mechanism in order to not have the elevator drive bellcrank inadvertently installed backwards. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the Czech Republic. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the elevator drive bellcrank from being installed backwards, which could result in an incorrect rigging of the elevator flight control with potential reduced or 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.
