Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12884 · Raytheon Aircraft Company Model 390 Airplanes
Raytheon Aircraft Company Model 390 Airplanes
The Federal Register printed this AD without its applicability text. Read it at the link below.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Model 390 airplanes. This AD requires you to replace the inboard fuel probe mounting brackets with ones of improved design. This AD is the result of reports of a design problem with the fuel probe assembly brackets. The actions specified by this AD are intended to correct the required air gap clearance between the fuel probe and the adjacent wing fuel tank access panel, which could result in arcing between the two conductive materials in the event of a lightning strike. This could serve as an ignition source inside the fuel tank and result in fire or explosion.
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.
