Regarding Elevator jamming due to separated balance weights
in applicable s/n's of Discus 2 and Ventus 2 gliders

Schempp has issued technical notes 349-28, 360-20 and 863-8
and the LBA has issued AD 2003-280
Both of these can be viewed on the LBA url at
http://www.lba.de/dokumente/ad/html/...360-discus.htm

The FAA has issued SAIB CE-04-40 for Experimentally
certificated gliders which can be viewed at the FAA url at
http://www.faa.gov/certification/air...o/ad/saibs.htm

The Tdata web site shows FAA proposed AD 2003-CE-59-AD
http://tdatacorp.com/

Although the FAA web site currently does not show a proposed AD
relating to this issue, it is most likely in the works

Subject: Ventus/Discus proposed AD for elevator?


Ran into my friendly A+P, AI today. While checking
for current/proposed AD's for my upcoming annual, he
said he saw a proposed AD for mass ballast from Schemp-Hirth.

I have not heard of this, and will start googling as
soon as I post to ras.
