Effective July 19th, 2010

Am I reading correctly that no aerobatics are permitted after July
19th regardless of the outcome of the inspection?

Thanks,
Craig

Yes. That seems very clearly stated.

Darryl

Yes, I thought it was clearly stated too, just so draconian that it
was a bit difficult to believe. *No exit clauses based on total hours,
etc.

Cheers,
Craig

I don't see it as draconian. I see it as appropriate for a glider type
that has had a spar failure/fatal accident and the TC owner, EASA, and
FAA are allowing the type to keep flying after inspection and while
collecting critical data on cracking. You guys need to wait until the
field data is in and maybe you'll have a case to try to remove
limitations, but I'd not hold my breath.
