AD rond vliegende propellors

Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH
Applicability:
Solo Model 2350 C engines, all manufacturer serial numbers equipped with a non-foldable propeller.
These engines are known to be installed on, but not limited to:
DG-Flugzeugbau Model DG-1000T powered sailplanes.
Reason:
An occurrence of engine shaft failure and consequent propeller detachment was reported on a Solo 2350 C engine.
This condition, if not corrected, could lead to additional cases of release of the propeller from the engine, possibly resulting in damage to the sailplane, or injury to persons on the ground.
To address this unsafe condition, EASA issued Emergency AD 2013-0217-E to prohibit operation of the engine.
After that AD was issued, Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH developed instructions to install a modified excenter axle-pulley assembly, allowing to resume operation of the engine. This optional modification was introduced through EASA AD 2013-0217R1.
Since that AD was issued, another occurrence of engine shaft failure and propeller detachment was reported on a Solo 2350 C engine which had been modified in accordance with Solo Kleinmotoren Service Bulletin (SB) 4603-14.
For the reasons described above, this AD supersedes EASA AD 2013-0217R1 and, pending the availability of EASA approved modification instructions,
