A mandatory AD for Stemme motorgliders with Rotax engines
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD No.:
2006-0311-E, dated October 11, 2006 (referred to after this as "the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states that:
During certification works it was found that the cooling liquid EVANS NPG+
is flammable. The liquid cooling circuit of the Stemme S10-VT is not
designed to be filled with a flammable liquid without prior modifications.
For that reason, this Emergency AD requires the replacement of the EVANS
NPG+ cooling liquid. In addition, the operation limit of the cylinder head
temperature must be temporary changed to 120[deg]C/248[deg]F.
