Airworthiness Directives; Aeromot-Industria Mecanico Metalurgica Itda. Models AMT-100 and AMT-200 Powered Sailplanes

概要

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Aeromot-Industria Mecanico Metalurgica Itda. (Aeromot) Models AMT-100 and AMT-200 powered sailplanes. This AD requires you to inspect (one-time) the main landing gear lever and elevator control rod for interference, warping, or incorrect gaps; and requires you to reconfigure or replace discrepant parts. This AD also requires you to report to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) any instances of interference, warping, or incorrect gaps. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Brazil. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct bending or warping in the main landing gear lever before it interferes with the elevator control rod. Such interference could result in the elevator control becoming jammed with consequent loss of control of the powered sailplane.
