Requirement
The directive outlines two main requirements: 1. Inspect for improper installation of the P60/J60 electrical connector, associated wiring, and fuel line, as well as for chafing damage. 2. If any discrepancies are found during inspections, corrective actions must be taken, including correcting installations and replacing or repairing damaged parts.
Compliance
Compliance with Requirement 1 must be achieved within 10 hours time-in-service after the effective date of the directive (27 July 2009) or within 6 calendar months, whichever comes first. Requirement 2 must be completed before further flight after the inspection.
Background
The directive was prompted by reports of chafing between wire harnesses/connectors and fuel lines, which could result in fuel leaks and potential fire hazards in the cockpit. The directive aims to detect and correct these issues to enhance safety.
Safety notes
- Chafing could lead to fuel leaking into the cockpit and fire if wiring arcs through the fuel line.
