Based on the in-depth study of the problem we have decided to
extend the scope of the Safety Directive-016 dd. August 12, 2013 and to arrange
immediate re-testing of all the carbon crossbeams on Combat gliders produced
since January 2010 to date. Combat gliders produced between January 2007 and
January 2010 are not within the scope of the Safety Directive-016. However,
Aeros recommends to check the crossbeam in the same manner at the next detailed
glider check-up according to the glider maintenance schedule.

The infrequent manufacturing defect referred to in the Safety Directive-016 is
displacement of a carbon fabric layer while the crossbeam preform is compressed
in the course of production process. This can result in a weak line forming
along the crossbeam wall. And this is exactly what happened on both crossbeams
that failed.

After the numerous factory tests Aeros has developed the method of revealing
such defects. Please, contact an Aeros dealer nearest to you to have the
crossbeam checked.
