TT aeroplanes, all serial numbers.
Requirement: If not previously accomplished, protect the left and right hand main/auxiliary fuel boost pump wiring in accordance with the following Fairchild Aircraft Service Letter, as applicable:
226- SL-023 dated 6 September 2000 or Revision 1 dated 25 September 2000
227- SL-039 dated 6 September 2000 or Revision 1 dated 25 September 2000
CC7-SL-031 dated 6 September 2000 or Revision 1 dated 25 September 2000
Note: FAA AD 2003-19-10 Amdt 39-13313 refers.
Compliance: At the next removal of the fuel boost pump, but no later than six months or 1200 hours time in service, which ever occurs first, after the effective date of this Directive.
This Amendment becomes effective on 15 April 2004.
Background: The original issue of this Directive required the protection of the boost pump wiring to prevent chafing or damage to wiring in the fuel tanks which could result in electrical arcing and/or fire in the fuel tank. Protection of the wiring provides terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirements of AD/SWSA 226/88.
This amendment corrected the reference to AD/SWSA 226/88.
