FAA Adopts Airworthiness Directive for Glasflugel Gliders to Address Corrosion Damage

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has adopted a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Glasflugel Models Standard Libelle-201B, Club Libelle 205, Mosquito, and Kestrel gliders to address corrosion damage to the elevator control rod, which could lead to loss of control. The directive is a result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
