76-10-04 START & FLUG: Amendment 39-2612. Applies to H101 "Salto" gliders, certificated in all categories.

Compliance is required as indicated unless already accomplished.

To prevent possible failure of the cockpit canopy locking device and the consequent inability of the pilot to use his parachute, accomplish the following:

(a) Within the next 10 hours time in service after the effective date of this AD, either

(1) Install an operating limitations placard on the instrument panel in full view of the pilot to read as follows:

"ACROBATIC MANEUVERS PROHIBITED;" or

(2) Modify the cockpit canopy fastening mechanism by installing polyamide stop blocks on both canopy fastening mechanisms in accordance with Start & Flug GmbH Technical Note No. 101-8, dated May 1, 1974 and Drawing No. 101-14-34, undated, or FAA-approved equivalents.

(b) The placard specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this AD, if installed, may be removed upon the incorporation of the modification described in paragraph (a)(2) of this AD.

This amendment becomes effective May 27, 1976.
