This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 18 April 2002.
Background: This Directive has been issued to prevent engine fuel leakage due to low cycle fatigue cracking of the rigid tube fuel manifold. The FAA has determined that resultant leakage could result in an in-flight fire. Replacement of the applicable manifolds per the replacement schedule will prevent fuel leakage from occurring.
