Typical glider service lives?

The three Blanik L-13's that just returned to service after having the world fleet grounding AD repaired now have 6,000 hour service life. Boise Pilot Is that 6,000 hours from the date of the recent factory rebuild or 6,000 total time from when they were first manufactured? I've been seriously considering getting back into an L-13 in the future. The AD&C mod has been accepted in Canada for quite a while but as far as I could tell it only allowed 5,000 hours total time from date of initial manufacture so the cost would have been hard to sustain unless I could have found an L-13 with under 2,000 hours total time. The factory rebuild and mod seems much more promising, so long as I can find a decent L-13 when the time comes. As long as I have a better flying year in 2019 I should be looking into doing the 3,000 hour inspection on my ASW-15B fairly soon. |
