Discussion

On August 12, 2003, FAA issued AD 2003-16-51, Amendment 39-13282 (68 FR 50055, August 20, 2003), which applies to certain SCHEMPP-HIRTH Model Duo-Discus gliders. This AD requires you to accomplish a one-time inspection of the bonding of the spar cap and spar web, and repair any defective bonding of the spar cap and spar web.

The FAA inadvertently omitted Amendment 39-13282 in the regulatory portion of the AD (in 14 CFR part 39).

The information is included in the preamble of the AD. The amendment number is needed for appropriate logbook entry for the affected airplane owners/operators if the preamble of the AD is not available.

Action is taken herein to correct this reference in AD 2003-16-51 and to add this AD correction to § 39.13 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.13).

The effective date remains August 20, 2003.
