Jim,

How did you hear about the proposal? I occasionally visit gliderforums.com
but missed your message on the AD until it was too late to respond. I
certainly never received anything from the FAA. You would think that if
they were contemplating such a drastic AD they would notify the owners of
the aircraft involved. After all, they already have our names, addresses
and foreskins from our firstborn.

I also signed up for the SSA E-news but never got anything and forgot about
it. Guess the "server" forgot me so I'll re-up.

I get the E-news weekly, the notices posted there are the actual AD's.
These notices are not the NPRM or ACS'.

The ACS dids not receive input responses from the SSA on the Pegasus
ACS, only the AOPA commented on the proposal. I've not seen any ACS
responses from the SSA on any glider ACS in the past year (since I've
had access via the 1-26 Association). There are some older ACS's
(comment periods closed a couple of months ago) on DG rudders, Twin
Astir elevators, DG-800B prop bolts, etc. - old issues, there's LBA
AD's already on these and the FAA is mirroring those AD's for US
owners.

If you have a type club or owners group, get in touch with the AOPA and
you may participate in these ACS' and possibly help craft these AD's,
or at least provide input regarding the suitability of the method of
compliance or cost.
