Note: FAA AD 2007-08-03 Amendment 39-15020 dated 5 April 2007 refers. FAA AD 2007-08-03 supersedes FAA AD 2006-17-04 amendment 39-14725. Compliance: 1. Within the next 5 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD. 2. Before further flight. This Amendment becomes effective on 25 April 2007. Background: There have been four reports of loose fuel lines connected to the fuel servo or fuel flow transducer. Two reports were of in-flight engine failure on a Model T182T airplane. A third report was of in flight-engine failure on a Model 206H airplane. A fourth report was of a Model 172S airplane that lost engine power on final approach. The intent of this AD is to detect and correct potential loss of fuel flow, which may result in partial or complete loss of engine power and/or fire due to fuel leak. Amendment 1 of this AD expands the applicability through addition of aircraft serial numbers and provides additional instructions for compliance in the appendix.
