Blanik L-13 AD
Blanik L-13 AD for Repetitive Inspection. AD effective JAN 2008. (FAA) . . . issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 4, 2007 (72 FR 56700). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is prompted by the discovery of cracks on L13 BLANIK sailplanes in zones where the forward and aft control sticks are attached to the connecting rod, designated as ``control bridge'' in the relevant Illustrated Parts Catalogues (IPC). If left uncorrected, cracks could propagate and lead to failure of the connecting rod with subsequent loss of control of the sailplane. For the reasons described above, this AD requires an inspection of the control bridge to detect cracks and replacement, if necessary. In addition, this AD requires an update of the aircraft Maintenance Manual (MM) to incorporate repetitive inspections of the control bridge. |

Blanik L-13 AD
Does anyone have a copy of the service bulletin that is referenced in this
AD? It is bulletin L13/105a, I have found references to it on the LET site but not the actual bulletin. I'll be sending a request to Vitek (Blanik America) as well. Thanks, Dave wrote in message ...

I find it offensive that a company would charge for an electronic version of a service bulletin to fix their design flaw in their glider. I will not support a company or their representative that take that approach with customers. From those I have heard from many others in the soaring community are very offended by the US representative and LET. This is a very poor business decision. Tim |
