Default The Blanik L-13 shall rise again! (?)

Oct. 26, 2016. One of the members of my club just sent this notice
around, along with this link: http://www.blanik.aero/customer-support
That's all I know.

Dear owners and supporters of L-13 Blanik gliders.

We are proud we can announce to the soaring community that the FAA has released Federal Aviation Administration approval of the Blanik Limited Airworthiness Restoration of the Blanik Limited model L-13 glider – FAA Project Number AT00794CE-G.

Now we are closely working with the FAA to submit and approve an AMOC (Alternative Method of Compliance) which will precisely specify how to maintain the fleet of grounded L-13s in the U.S. based on their technical condition.

We believe that we are close to the solution which will get the L-13 fleet flying again. We are also looking for qualified maintenance shops which are interested in performing the required modification.

Our goal is to bring the L-13s back to the sky before next season.

Sincerely

Vaclav Krizek
Chief Executive Officer
