3000 h check - who? where?
Hello to everyone on the forum.
I'm fairly new to gliding - finished my ABC in Australia in the beginning of this year but I'm originally from Bulgaria where I live at the moment as well. I'm looking to buy my first glider at the moment and noticing a lot of gliders for sale near the 3000 h check (Astirs in particular as I'm looking for one). I know the 3000 h check is a fairly big thing but I don't know where it could be done in Central Europe and how much would it cost? Any help and information would be appreciated! All the best.

Depending where you are I can suggest Aerospool in Slovakia.
They can do everything required and are very professional. |

What I understand of a 3000 hr life extension inspection;
The original manufacturer (or later the type certificate holder) has set forth a specific set of inspections which are more comprehensive than an annual inspection of airworthiness. Sometimes some components are identified as mandatory replacement items. Sometimes access holes have to be cut to inspect otherwise inaccessible parts, then these holes are patched. Some makers charge a fee for serial number specific documents, some makers require this work to be done at their facility or repair station. Your experience may differ. It doesn't sound inexpensive to me. Good luck! Scott |
