This approval may just be for operation in Australia, but even if so is a start.

IS28 Life Extension
There is now a simple method to extend the life of IS28 gliders beyond 35 years. Rob Hanbury, with help from a young pilot Bogdan Hiticas, has set up a system piggybacking off the Romanian EASA approval. For more information contact Rob Hanbury Airworthiness Department Chair

They are the holder of this suplement and there might in the future get to be the holders of all the IS 28 and 29 type certificates.

Job DONE

My IS 28B2 sn 229 flyes again.

Cost:
500 euro - the pice of paper that is S/N specific
640 euro - structure and corrosion control.

Please be advised that at the joint of the vertical stabilizer many IS 28B2 gliders were found to have a crack after 35 years of service. Inspection and action is to be taken for obvious safety reasons.

Mine was exported in Hungary and there there was a program to reinforce that specific joint on all Hungarian IS 28B2 imported so all is ok, but the ones that were not reinforced need to be inspected.

Living in Romania I performed the initial mandatory 2 year inspection with the Romanina Airclub and got a clean bill of health.

Now I can fly it again safely and legally.
