The FAA fixed a typo, but it means some gliders are still unsafe
What happened
The US aviation regulator is correcting a proposed rule about glider safety. It changed the name of the affected glider model from "CIRRUS" to "STANDARD CIRRUS" in the document.
Why it matters
This is a minor correction to a proposed rule. It means the original safety issue for these gliders has not yet been addressed. Owners of these gliders still face an uncorrected safety risk.
The signal
Watch for a final rule to be published that actually addresses the unsafe condition for the correctly named gliders.
