El_Guapo Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Does anybody know how you get registered user access to Grob/H3 support? I acquired a 109A and am working through the active Airworthiness Directives. None of the Grob service instructions or technical manuals (rudder damper is one example) are on their website and I can't find them anywhere else (Including the files section here). Thanks for any help, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Clifton Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Have you been able to get access to the Grob service bulletin docs? I have been able to download the files using this link: https://grob-aircraft.com/en/g-109-general.html Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Guapo Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Steve, I have those and they are incomplete. I suspect the balance of those which I need are in the next category below that which purport to be 109A specific. Grob gave me one initial reply and then nothing. I ended up going to the FAA Small Aircraft Directorate to get a "Well, it's an old aircraft and support may not be timely", but I did get another response. There are at least three ADs that have not been done and some others which are recurring that will need to be completed before this aircraft is again airworthy. I am in my 60s and I'd like to fly it for a year or two before I drop dead but at the present rate things aren't looking very optimistic.

Steve Clifton Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Sounds frustrating, sorry to hear that. Many of the service bulletins specify that they apply to both the 109 and 109B so I guess I assumed it would be available within the the list of files. For example, MSB817-70 inspection of the tail gear mounting bracket, required annually, is applicable to both models. I feel your pain however, I bought my 109B in September and between addressing outstanding ADs, a failed tach and then a Mode C/ADS-B transponder installation (required in Las Vegas), I wasn’t flying it until late December. Right now the glider is in top shape but I’m concerned about ongoing support. Let me know if I can help, I have a lot of technical paperwork from the previous owner, so maybe I have something you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Guapo Posted March 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Thank you, Steve. I'll PM you my email address. I did get an answer from Grob finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
