AD 2013-22-14 Airworthiness Directives; DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Gliders
Applicability*9
This AD applies to DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-1000T gliders, all serial numbers, that are: (1) Equipped with a Solo Kleinmotoren Model 2350 C engine; and (2) certificated in any category.
Compliance
Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(4) of this AD. (1) As of November 25, 2013 (the effective date retained from AD 2013-22-14), do not operate the engine unless the engine is modified following instructions that are approved by the FAA specifically for AD 2013-22-14. Contact the FAA office identified in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to get more information about obtaining such instructions. (2) As of November 25, 2013 (the effective date retained from AD 2013-22-14), place a copy of AD 2013-22-14 or this AD into the Limitations section of the aircraft flight manual (AFM). (3) To remove the prohibited engine operation requirement in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, modify the engine as specified in the Actions paragraph of Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH Technische Mitteilung Service Bulletin Nr. 4603-14, dated April 28, 2014, unless already modified with FAA-approved instructions as specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD. Note 1 to paragraph (f)(3) of this AD: This service information contains German to English translation. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) used the English translation in referencing the document. For enforceability purposes, we will refer to the Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH service information as the title appears on the document. (4) Prior to further flight after modifying the engine as specified in paragraph (f)(1) or paragraph (f)(3) of this AD, remove the engine operation restriction (copy of AD 2013-22-14) from the Limitations section of the AFM.
Required actions
The following provisions also apply to this AD: (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Jim Rutherford, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 329-4165; fax: (816) 329-4090; email: jim.rutherford@faa.gov. Before using any approved AMOC on any glider to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO. (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority (or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product is airworthy before it is returned to service.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as engine shaft failure and consequent propeller detachment. We are issuing this AD to prevent engine shaft failure and propeller detachment, which could result in damage to the glider and injury to persons on the ground.
Affected ADs
This AD revises AD 2013-22-14, Amendment 39-17646 (78 FR 65869, November 4, 2013) (“AD 2013-22-14”).
