Default News from GFA regarding Australian Blanik L13s

This news just received from GFA.
Jim

This is an occasional comment from the GFA President to members on
topical issues

Blaniks

I am very happy to inform members that through work undertaken by
Edwin Grech-Cumbo, John Viney, Dafydd Llewelyn and CASA, some
Australian Blaniks may be returned to service and arrangements are
being made which will allow others to do so subject to their owners
being prepared to undertake necessary modifications. CASA has granted
an exclusion from the terms of the EASA AD grounding Blaniks world
wide subject to the aircraft having been modified to the full extent
of the STC to L13A1 standard. The exclusion has been granted to eight
specific aircraft known to have been modified in full compliance with
the STC. Work is currently in progress by GFA to coordinate
involvement in a program to facilitate the modification of other
Blaniks to L13A1 standard if their owners wish to do so. There is no
further news on what the manufacturer in Europe may be doing regarding
the grounding.

Safe Soaring


Phil McCann
President
