FLIGHT CONTROLS, CONTROL COLUMN ROD END INSPECTION / REPLACEMENT

During a pre-flight inspection of a DG-100 sailplane, the adjustable Rod End of the aileron push rod was found broken at the control column end. Early DG aircraft were fitted with the rod ends manufactured from standard grade steel. This is to be replaced with one of high grade steel, identifiable by an "X' stamped on the shank. The EASA has produced AD 2009-0167-E, and DG-Flugzeugbau has produced Technical Notes (TN) 301-25/323-16 which form part of this Airworthiness Directive.
