Stall, spin fatality today in Arizona.
Sorry, I should have read the whole thread before asking another
question.* It was answered later. On 6/29/2018 3:36 PM, Dan Marotta wrote: But can you inspect your own glider and sign it off or must some appointed person do it? In the US many years ago the FAA required a logbook entry with each assembly of a glider.* The Soaring Society convinced the FAA that it was routine to assemble and dismantle gliders before and after flight.* Thankfully the requirement was removed.

This applies to all gliders in BGA clubs. All have DI books which are signed every day the glider is flown to show that known deferrable faults have been fixed or deferred and visual inspection and positive control checks have been done and the glider is passed as serviceable. My Libelle is currently pegged down in its covers and will still get the same preflight checks before its next flight that it got when it was rigged yesterday. -- Dan, 5J |
