## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Rolladen Schneider Flugzeugbau GmbH (Rolladen Schneider) Model LS6-c sailplanes. This AD requires that you accomplish the following: --install a deflector on the cockpit instrument panel for sailplanes equipped with an instrument panel that is 40 centimeters (15.75 inches) wide; --inspect the canopy emergency jettison system on all sailplanes; and --adjust the system, as necessary, for all sailplanes, including installing a deflector for sailplanes equipped with an instrument panel that is not 40 centimeters (15.75 inches) wide if proper clearance is not met. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified by this AD are intended to assure that the instrument panel does not jam against the canopy frame of the emergency jettison system. This could restrict the pilot's ability to safely exit the sailplane.
