FWIW, there is another EASA Emergency AD (2010-0160-E) that updates
and supersedes the June Emergency AD. I don't know what the
differences are as I don't have a copy of the first one. Whether by
accident or not, the US AD seems to less restrictive. To paraphrase
(always dangerous, I know) it 1) limits aerobatics
2) mandates inspection for cracks with a 10x magnifier 3) grounds the
glider if cracks are found 4) requires certain information be
forwarded
to the certificate holder w/i ten days of the inspection. It doesn't
say anything about grounding if certain ratios are exceeded or if
records are incomplete or missing (as does 2010-0160-E). Am I mis-
reading this? Is the full body of EASA AD automatically incorporated?
Is the SSA chiming in during the comment period? A quick search shows
183 registered L13s in the USA.
