Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Rolladen Schneider Flugzeugbau GmbH (Rolladen Schneider) Models LS 3-A, LS 4, and LS 4a sailplanes. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the forward elevator mounting bracket on the vertical tail fin for looseness, and, if any loose bracket is found, modifying the area and installing a new forward elevator mounting bracket. 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 detect and correct loose forward elevator mounting brackets, which could result in these brackets separating from the sailplane with consequent loss of control of the sailplane.
