AD/DHC-8/74 Oxygen - Deletion of Selector Stop
on Flow Control Valve
11/2000
Applicability: DHC-8 aircraft Models 102, 103, 106, 201, 202, 301, 311, 314, and 315, serial numbers 003 to 468 inclusive and 472 with all-passenger oxygen configurations CR 835CH00009, CR 835CH00011, CR 835CH02001, CSI 82279 or CSI 82093
installed.
Requirement: Incorporate Bombardier Modification 8/2989 (Deletion of Selector Stop on Flow Control Valve) in accordance with Bombardier Service Bulletin 8-35-19 dated 17 August 2000.
Note: Transport Canada AD CF-2000-26 refers.
Compliance: Unless previously accomplished, within 90 days time in service after the effective date of this Directive.
This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 2 November 2000.
Background: This Directive addresses aircraft fitted with an Automatic Passenger Presentation of Oxygen System (APPOS). Field reports have indicated that the selector stop on the flow valve control panel can be installed incorrectly, preventing the selection of either “ON” or “AUTO”. In such a case, oxygen would be prevented from being available to passengers in case of an emergency.
