INSPECTION AND PRESERVATION OF MAIN SPAR STRUCTURES

Applicable to the ASW 17-all models, all serial numbers. Following penetration of water into the spar interior it is  possible that under certain conditions a wood destroying  mould fungus develops in the spar inside. This may lead  eventually to the premature failure of the wing. The manufacturer has issued Technical Note 12 and the German  LBA has issued Airworthiness Directive 89-115. It must be noted that this problem must apply to all glider and powered sailplane types which utilize wood as part of their GRP structure and carry water ballast. GFA AD's 159 and 165 also address this problem. All materials required are available from the manufacturer:- NOTE: An Australian equivalent to "AIDOL" can be provided by  the GFA CTO/A. ASW 17 Technical Note 12, including Figure's 1 to 6. Operations manual page 32 refer.
