A new AD note has been issued by the FAA concerning the airbrake locking system of all models of the G-103 glider certificated in any category. This means it applies to G-103s in the EXPERIMENTAL category too.
AD 2015-22-04 becomes effective 4 December 2015. And has two different compliance times. It is available at: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory...e?OpenFrameSet The AD references two Service Bulletins issued by the Type Certificate holder, Fiberglas Technik Rudolf Lindner GmbH in Germany. http://ltb-lindner.com/ The SBs are available at Lindner's web site. SB-G07 Instructions for installing an inspection opening to the underside of the wings. SB-G08 Instructions for checking the locking force of the airbrake system and adjusting it if necessary, and inspection the locking lever for cracks. It also calls for this inspection to be performed at each Annual Inspection. Lindner is working on a permanent fix which I assume would include replacing the locking lever in question. That may take a while. Many G-103s already have the inspection hole installed. They are a great help when doing the inspection for cracks in the locking lever and mandatory for adjusting the over center locking force. I highly recommend installing the inspection holes even if your initial inspection shows no cracks and the locking force is within limits, If you have questions contact me at 505 269-8234 Robert Mudd Composite Aircraft Repair Moriarty, New Mexico. |
