Bij de DG 500 en 800 is het mogelijk dat de startmotor plotseling op eigen houtje de motor gaat starten.

Erg fijne feature als hij nog ingeklapt zit.

Met betrekking tot dit probleem is ondertussen een AD verschenem:

About 8% of the produced starter motor control units, as installed in DG-800
and DG-500MB powered sailplanes, have reportedly been sent in for repair
with a defective starter motor control. Investigation results showed that a short
circuit can activate the starter motor without pressing the starter button.
This condition, if not corrected, could cause sudden rotation of the propeller,
possibly resulting in injury to the pilot or other persons.
To address this potential unsafe condition, DG-Flugzeugbau issued Technical
Note (TN) No. 800/42, 500/06 (single document).
For the reason described above, this AD requires identification and
replacement of the affected control units.
