Titeflex Corporation
This airworthiness directive (AD) is applicable to certain part number (P/N) Titeflex Corporation high-pressure and medium-pressure hoses that were fabricated at the Titeflex Springfield, MA, facility from January 1996 through June 2000. These hoses are installed on Airbus A300, A310, A340 airplanes, Boeing airplane models 707, 727, 737-200, 737-200C, 747, 757, and 767, Bombardier CL-600 1A11, BAE Avro 146 and BAE 146, McDonnell Douglas Corporation DC8 series, and Cessna 650 airplanes, and General Electric CF6-80C and CFM-56 series, and Honeywell International Inc., ALF502 and LF507 series turbofan engines.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), that is applicable to certain Titeflex Corporation high-pressure and medium- pressure hoses. This amendment requires inspecting certain Titeflex hoses for a date of manufacture, and if necessary, replacing the hose with a serviceable part. This amendment is prompted by reports of hoses that failed to meet the fire test requirements during laboratory testing. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of a hose when exposed to fire.
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.
