3,000 hour inspection for Schleicher sailplanes, required in the US?

I've spent some time reading the FAA's response to the SSA in regards to the IS-28B2 found here, http://www.ssa.org/files/member/FAA%...7%20-%20Signed[2543].pdf I'm curious how it applies to the 3,000 hour service life extension for say a Schleicher ASW-15 sailplane. I have the same question about a DG-200. Is a service life extension required in the US? |

The FAA provided a way to extend life by condition, as I recall. The other manufacturers do have that provision so owners have to comply with the inspection specified to ensure continued airworthiness. UH |

If anyone has gone through the 3000h inspection process for a DG, I'd appreciate any information you can share. Chris |

Chris Hi Chris, We did a 3000hr inspection on a DG100G with the assistance of Rex at Williams Soaring. It took about a day to go through everything. Nothing really too difficult or special, just checking and comparing things to their specifications. The hassle of course is paying the service fee and then buying the inspection form. But beyond that, it's just like doing an extensive annual where you're doing some measurement of play in control circuits or throw of ailerons. Morgan |
