Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of specified RFD liferaft models and serial ranges to inspect and, if necessary, repair the positioning of bridge-piece patches that affect inflation gas flow. The check and any repairs must follow RFD Service Bulletin instructions and be done at the next repack or scheduled overhaul after 24 June 1993. It matters because incorrect patch placement can restrict inflation of fender tubes and boarding ramps, reducing liferaft functionality during an emergency.

Applicability: RFD liferafts Type 10R MK 1 and SAR MK 1 with Serial Numbers 10R 152 through 10R 1027 and liferafts Type 14R MK 1 with Serial Numbers 14R 213 through 14R 1020.

Background: This Directive requires a check to be made of the liferafts for the correct location of the bridge piece attached patches, as detailed in Service Bulletin 25-46, together with repair procedures if the installation is found to be incorrect. This condition could result in some restriction of gas flow into the fender tubes and boarding ramps.
