FLIGHT CONTROLS ELEVATOR CONTROL ROD IN VERTICAL FIN – INSPECTION / REPLACEMENT

CANCELLED Refer EASA AD 2011-0213

A broken elevator control rod in the vertical fin on a Kestrel sailplane has been reported. The technical investigation revealed that water had soaked into the elevator control rod through a control bore hole and resulted in corrosion damage. The investigation concluded as well that the corrosion cannot be detected from outside the elevator control rod. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to failure of the elevator control rod, possibly resulting in loss of control of the sailplane. To address this unsafe condition, Glasfaser Flugzeug-Service GmbH have developed and published Technical Note (TN) TN 201-40, TN 205-27, TN 206-26, TN 303-25, TN 304-12, TN 401-30, TN 501-10, TN 604-11, which provides information for Standard Libelle 201b, serial number (S/N) 169; Standard Libelle 203, all S/N; Standard Libelle 204, S/N 1; Club Libelle 205, all S/N; Hornet, all S/N, except S/N 36; Hornet C, all S/N; Mosquito, all S/N Mosquito B, all S/N; Glasflügel 304, all S/N; Kestrel, all S/N, except S/N 85, 110, 125; Glasflügel 604, all S/N & BS 1, all S/N.
