Cessna 310 Series Aeroplanes
| AD/CESSNA 310/58 Amdt 1 | Fuel Flow Transducer | 9/2008 |
|---|
| Applicability: | Cessna Model 310R series aeroplane with serial number 1865. |
|---|---|
| Requirement: | 1. Inspect fuel flow transducer Cessna part number (P/N) 9910395-9 (Aerosonics Corp P/N 33184-2) on each engine to determine the serial number. |
| 2. If the P/N 9910395-9 transducer has a serial number included in the block 2364 through 2930, replace the transducer with a transducer whose serial number is not included in that block. | |
| Note 1: The requirements of this Directive were most likely accomplished prior to the aircraft’s arrival in Australia and the aircraft’s maintenance records would indicate compliance with FAA AD 80-13-14, this is considered acceptable for compliance with this Directive. | |
| Note 2: FAA AD 80-13-14 Amdt 39-3844 refers. | |
| Compliance: | For Requirement 1 - Prior to the issue of an Australian Certificate of Airworthiness. |
| For Requirement 2 - Before further flight after the Requirement 1 inspection. | |
| This Amendment becomes effective on 28 August 2008. | |
| Background: | This original issue of this Directive followed an internal review of Australian Airworthiness Directives (AD) which indicated an Australian AD was not issued in response to FAA AD 80-13-14. The FAA AD was originally issued to detect and replace possible defective fuel flow transducers which may cause fuel leaks in the engine compartment. |
| This Amendment corrects a minor typographical error in the Background Statement following advice from the Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances. |
| CASA acknowledges that currently the only affected 310R aeroplane is not on the Australian register of aircraft. However, this aeroplane may be imported at a later date and may not be in compliance with FAA AD 80-13-14, CASA is obliged to issue an AD reflecting the requirements of an AD issued by the State of design of the aircraft or appliance, in this case FAA AD 80-13-14. Consequently, given the time since the FAA AD was made and that similar incidents have not been reported in Australia, CASA has decided that the initial compliance should be ‘Prior to the issue of an Australian Certificate of Airworthiness’. |
