AD 2026-04-12 Airworthiness Directives; Extra Aerobatic Aircraft GmbH Airplanes
Makes named: extra. Models named: EXTRA NG. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to all Extra Aerobatic Aircraft GmbH Model EXTRA NG airplanes, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
(1) For airplanes without canopy placard part number (P/N) EX-01106.01-Canopy installed, within 3 months or 25 hours time-in-service, whichever occurs first after the effective date of this AD, replace the affected canopy placards at the front and rear canopy handles in accordance with the INSTRUCTIONS, steps 1 and 2, in EXTRA Aerobatic Aircraft GmbH Service Bulletin No. SB-NG-1-24, Issue A, dated December 19, 2024 (EXTRA SB-NG-1-24). (2) Before next flight, after the replacement of the affected canopy placards required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, revise the Limitations Section of the existing pilot's operating handbook/airplane flight manual (POH/AFM) to include canopy placard P/N EX-01106.01-Canopy in accordance with the INSTRUCTIONS, step 3, in EXTRA SB-NG-1-24. The owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate may revise the existing POH/AFM for the airplane and must enter compliance with the applicable paragraph of this AD into the airplane maintenance records in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a) and 91.417(a)(2)(v). (3) Amending the existing POH/AFM by incorporating a later POH/AFM revision that includes information identical to that required by paragraph (g)(2) is an acceptable method to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(2) of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of the canopy opening or detaching in flight because of a partially or improperly locked canopy. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and address placards/design that did not provide adequate positive canopy locking or confirmation. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in canopy separation, possibly leading to damage to the airplane structure, loss of control of the airplane, or injuries to people on the ground.
Affected ADs
None.
