Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of Aerospatiale (Socata) TB200 aeroplanes fitted with certain ammeter option kits to modify the ammeter electrical circuit in accordance with Socata Mandatory Service Bulletin TB Aircraft 10-122-24 (July 2001). CASA issued the requirement under subregulation 39.1(1) of CAR 1998 and set compliance at the next scheduled maintenance, but no later than 31 December 2001.

The AD responds to reported in‑flight ammeter circuit failures that could cause smoke or a burning smell. Operators pay for and arrange the modification; maintenance organisations must carry out the work per the service bulletin.
