Airworthiness Directives; EXTRA Flugzeugbau GmbH Model EA-300/S Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain EXTRA Flugzeugbau GmbH Model EA-300/S airplanes. This AD requires modifying the canopy latches or replacing the canopy latches with parts of improved design. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the canopy while the airplane is in flight because of cracked canopy latches, which could result in loss of the canopy and possible loss of control of the airplane.
