  • new US airworthiness directive (AD) for all ASW-15 gliders

    From soarsn@yahoo.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 21 09:50:11 2022
    From the text:
    "this AD applies to Model ASW-15 gliders, all serial numbers, certificated in any category, which includes only serial numbers 15001 through 15183 inclusive."

    ACTION:

    Final rule.

    SUMMARY:

    The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. Segelflugzeugbau Model ASW-15 gliders. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
    another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as wing root damage. This AD requires repetitively
    inspecting the wing root ribs for cracks, looseness, and damage and replacing any root rib with a crack, a loose rib or lift pin bushing, or any damage. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

    DATES:

    This AD is effective August 25, 2022.

    A copy of the AD is here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/07/21/2022-15419/airworthiness-directives-alexander-schleicher-gmbh-and-co-segelflugzeugbau-gliders
