After heavy landings or after the powered sailplane has been subjected to
excessive loads, the resonant wing vibration frequency should be checked
(its value to be extracted from the last inspection report for this serial number).
Check the entire aircraft thoroughly for surface cracks and other damage.
For this purpose it should be de-rigged.
If damage is discovered (e.g. surface cracks in the fuselage tail boom or tailplane,
or if delamination is found at the wing roots or at the bearings in
the root ribs), then the aircraft must be grounded until the damage has been
repaired by a qualified person.
This inspection must also include a complete check of the power plant system.
