8.2 Inspection
periods
For details concerning the maintenance of this sailplane refer to its Maintenance
Manual.
Airframe maintenance
Under normal operating conditions no airframe maintenance work is required
between the annual surveys, except for the routine greasing of the spigots and
ball bearings of the wing and tailplane attachment fittings.
Should the control system become heavy to operate, lubricate those places in the
fuselage and in the wing panels where plain bearings are used (undercarriage.
flap and airbrake actuating linkage).
Cleaning and greasing the wheel(s) and the tow release mechanism(s) depends
on the accumulation of dirt.
Rudder cables
After every 200 flying hours and at every annual survey, the rudder cables are to
be inspected at the point where they feed through the S-shaped guides in the
pedals, especially at the point of maximum pedal adjustment.
If the rudder cables are damaged worn or corroded, they must be replaced.
It is permissible for individual strands of the cables to be worn up to 25%.
