Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive (a mandatory safety notice from the aviation regulator) requires immediate replacement of fuel nozzles and manifold assemblies on specific aircraft turbine engines to prevent engine failure or fire.

Who is affected: Owners and operators of aircraft powered by AlliedSignal (Garrett/AiResearch) TPE-331-25A, -25B, -25D, -25F, or -29A engines.

What you must do: Replace the fuel nozzle and manifold assembly in accordance with either:

AiResearch Service Bulletin TPE-331 No. 9, or
Airworthiness Directive AD/AIR-T/2.

When: Immediately ('forthwith'). This means compliance is required as soon as practically possible with no grace period.

Why it matters: Faulty fuel nozzles or manifolds can cause catastrophic engine failure or in-flight fires. This directive forces the replacement of potentially defective parts before they cause accidents.
