Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH (Diamond) Models H-36 "Dimona", HK 36 R "Super Dimona", HK 36 TC, HK 36 TS, HK 36 TTC, HK 36 TTC-ECO, HK 36 TTC-ECO (Restricted Category), and HK 36 TTS sailplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the long aileron push rods in both wings for damage and modify the push rods. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Austria. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct damage in the long aileron push control rods, which could result in failure of the aileron push rods and decreased control. Such failure could lead to aeroelastic flutter.
