- Is an European solution valid in the US? *Or do we need to wait for
the FAA to weigh in?
- What is the estimate cost of the EASA AD? *(baring any additional
rework beyond the AD needs)

If some are not returned to service, perhaps a few can find display
space in various venues. Others might make interesting simulators, as
York Soaring developed a few years ago. It was used a public
displays, for student training, and CFI-G reviews and scenarios with
several instructors observing. No idea what the current status of
that project is.

From the AD regarding ratios/flight hours

"If the sailplane records are inconclusive, or if any of the types of
operation exceeds the maximum limit, contact the TC holder for
approved instructions and accomplish those instructions accordingly."


What might these "approved instructions" be? Has anybody contacted the
TC holder yet?
