Proposed SZD-55 EASA AD now out for comment - "Flight Controls – Elevator Control System / Vertical Tail – Inspection"
On Friday, March 23, 2018 at 1:01:15 PM UTC-4, Dan Daly wrote:
It would require an inspection within 60 days to ensure the elevator control attachment slot on the vertical stab be measured. One which caused a fatal crash in UK last year was found to have been enlarged. If the cut-out has been enlarged, the factory must be informed and it would have to be fixed before the next flight. I'll rephrase this just in case someone else has trouble understanding statements written in the passive voice. Somebody cut away FRP material and enlarged a hole in the top of the vertical stabilizer of a SZD-55. This modification makes it possible for the pilot to assemble the glider such that he ends up with an inoperative elevator control linkage.
