IN-FLIGHT FAILURE OF WING STRUCTURE
Recently in the U.K., a K-7 suffered an in-flight break-up which resulted in the loss of life of the two occupants. As a result the BGA temporarily grounded their entire fleet of Ka-7s. Issue 1 of this AD temporary suspended the "Special Category" applicable to some Ka-7s and restricted permitted manoeuvers, pending further investigation of the cause of the failure. This issue (issue 2) reinstates the "Special Category" and removes the restriction on permitted manoeuvres. The revised Maximum weak link strength of 850Kg for winch /autotow for Ka-7 & ASK-13 gliders is retained. The full causes of the glue failure in the UK have not been positively identified; therefore the lowered weak link limits for winch /autotow introduced in Issue 1 will be retained.
