## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all S.N. CENTRAIR Model 201B gliders. This AD requires you to modify the rear canopy emergency release system. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent the rear canopy retaining strap from not releasing properly during the emergency egress procedure because of the current design of the rear canopy emergency release system. This condition, if not corrected, will not allow the rear canopy to completely separate from the glider and could result in potential injury to the pilot during an emergency egress.
