This directive ensures fuel can drain safely overboard rather than accumulating near hot engine components.\n\n**Compliance timeframe**\nAircraft operators must complete the inspection and any necessary installations within 50 hours of flying time after the specified effective date."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-p68-4-auxiliary-fuel-pump-drains-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-p68-4-auxiliary-fuel-pump-drains-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-p68-4-auxiliary-fuel-pump-drains-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-p68-4-auxiliary-fuel-pump-drains-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-p68-4-auxiliary-fuel-pump-drains-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-p68-4-auxiliary-fuel-pump-drains-inspection/documents"}}
