Full official abstract

We are revising an airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Models HK 36 R, HK 36 TS, and HK 36 TTS powered gliders. 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. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
