SAFETY LOCKING OF THE DIVEBRAKE PIVOT BOLTS
An incident in Australia occurred where a divebrake pivot bolt in a wing partially unscrewed allowing one side to be unsupported. Excessive freeplay of the divebrakes resulted allowing the divebrakes to jam on the connecting push rod, causing the rod end to bend and preventing the divebrakes from closing fully. The GFA has contacted the manufacturer who confirmed that there was insufficient safetying of the bolt and have devised a method for securing these bolts. Applicable to the SZD-50-3 Puchacz up to Serial Number B-2056. PZL Bielsko Bulletin No. BA-047/50-3/94 “PUCHACZ” refers.
