SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Schempp-Hirth
Flugzeugbau GmbH Model Ventus-2a and Ventus-2b gliders. This AD was prompted by mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country
to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as severe corrosion on the inboard flaperon actuation push rods and ball bearing connecting
the flaperon push rod to the bell crank inside the wing. This AD requires inspecting the affected parts
of the flaperon control in the wings and taking corrective actions if necessary. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

A copy of the Airworthiness Directive is available from the FAA here:
