NOTE
After a hard landing, or excessively high "G" loads, the bending
frequency of the wings must be checked and the sailplane
carefully examined for any indications of damage acc. to
Maintenance manual instructions.
Dismantle the sailplane and check surface finish for cracks. Look
for white areas (that may indicate delamination) at the wing spar
root ends, wing root rib fittings, landing gear attachments, tail
fittings, and all areas of concentrated loads. Also inspect the
central wing pin and tail attachments for distortion.If damage is
found, the sailplane should be grounded until any repairs have
been completed. This inspection must also include a thorough
powerplant check.
