New Blanik AD
On Sep 6, 1:49*am, Eric Munk wrote:
To whom it may concern, EASA has just published a new AD: EASA AD 2010-0185-E. It grounds all Blaniks with immediate effect, including L-13, L-13A and all aircraft that passed earlier AD inspections. Reason is that the failed wing spar on the Austrian accident glider failed before reaching its theoretical lifetime, and it failed due to fatigue. Grounding is pending development of terminating action, which I imagine will take considerable time, and expense... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... Eric Munk The Netherlands It will be interesting how the US FAA handles this one. Anyone have a link to the EASA AD?
