Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Schempp-Hirth Cirrus and Cirrus VTC sailplanes. This action requires modifying the airbrake actuating lever and replacing the airbrake system coupling balls. Reports of the coupling balls on the airbrake actuating lever breaking at the threaded end on several of the affected sailplanes prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent airbrake system failure caused by the above condition, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in sailplane controllability problems.
