Abstract
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Models DG-800A, DG-800B, DG-500MB gliders. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as a defective starter motor control unit, which could activate the starter motor without pressing the starter button. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
