Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12086 · Bombardier Model DHC-8-200, and -300 Series Airplanes
Bombardier Model DHC-8-200, and -300 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2001-13-25. Comply with the one in force.
Model DHC-8-201, -202, -301, -311, and -315 airplanes having serial numbers 100 through 552 inclusive, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Bombardier Model DHC-8-200, and -300 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections to detect chafing or arcing damage to the cable/wire and fuel tube assemblies on the right hand side of each engine, and replacement with new components, if necessary. This action also provides an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections required by this AD. This action is necessary to prevent chafing of the cable/wire bundles against the fuel line, which could result in arcing and a consequent fire or explosion. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
