AD/TAY/3 Amdt 1 (continued)

Background: A number of worn, frayed and, in one case, broken Emergency Fuel Shut-off Cables have been reported in service. The wear occurs at the aft guide quadrant, which supports the cable and turns it through 90 degrees. Failure of a significant number of strands in the cable could result in the non-operation of the emergency fuel shut-off in the unlikely event of the system being required. This Amendment amends the applicability to reflect the SB effectivity, introduces the latest SB revision, which indicates changes to the accomplishment instruction, and re-writes the presentation.

The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 28 January 1999.
