AD: Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Powered Gliders (Revision)

AD NUMBER: 2013-04-08 R1

PRODUCT: Certain Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Models HK 36 R, HK 36 TS, and HK 36 TTS powered gliders.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-04-08 R1
ACTION: Final Rule, request for comments.

SUMMARY: The FAA is revising an airworthiness directive (AD) for the product listed above. AD 2013-04-08 required replacement of each elevator bell crank assembly and elevator bell crank mount. This AD retains the actions of AD 2013-04-08 but decreases gliders in the Applicability by removing the Model H-36 from the Applicability. This AD was prompted by reports of installation of an unsuitable self-locking nut on the bell crank of the elevator push rod that can cause failure of the elevator, resulting in loss of control. The FAA is issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This final rule is effective May 6, 2013. Comments must be recieved by by June 20, 2013.

FMI: AD
