Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires operators of specified Beechcraft 200 series aeroplanes (serial numbers below BB‑666, BL‑10 and BT‑17) to either carry out Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 1013 Rev.1 or install an approved modification to the engine fuel drain lines. The rule was issued after a fuel/water cross‑connection incident; it aims to stop contamination of nacelle tanks. Operators pay for inspections, parts and labour, may need Secretary approval for alternative modifications, and must comply within 100 flight hours of 1 June 1984.

Amdt 1

Engine Fuel Drain Connections 5/84

Applicability: All model 200, serial numbers below BB-666, below BL-10 and below BT-17. Requirement: 1. Action in accordance with Beechcraft SI No. 1013 Rev. 1, OR

2. Alternatively the intent of Service Instruction No. 1013 Rev 1 may be accomplished by developing a modification acceptable to the Secretary to;

(a) Replace the PN330995-4-180 hose with a locally manufactured equivalent \-6 hose and associated AN807-60 fitting, AND

(b) Achieve compatibility of the new AN807-6D fitting with the existing PN131066-2-320 hose and engine drain manifold.

Compliance: Within 100 hours time in service after 1 June 1984.

Background: One instance of FWD combustion chamber drain hose and fuel manifold dump valve hose cross connection resulted in significant quantities of water and other contaminants reaching the nacelle tank via the combustion drain and collector tank. Because of the occurrence AD/BEECH 200/42 was issued requiring an immediate inspection of all affected aircraft. This Directive is amended to extend the applicability for aircraft serial numbers below BT-17 and introduce the installation of modified engine drain lines.
