Default New Blanik AD

To whom it may concern,

EASA has just published a new AD: EASA AD 2010-0185-E.

It grounds all Blaniks with immediate effect, including L-13, L-13A and
all aircraft that passed earlier AD inspections. Reason is that the failed
wing spar on the Austrian accident glider failed before reaching its
theoretical lifetime, and it failed due to fatigue.

Grounding is pending development of terminating action, which I imagine
will take considerable time, and expense...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
