Kidde Aerospace Part Number (P/N) 898052 Hand-Held Halon Fire Extinguishers
The Federal Register printed this AD without its applicability text. Read it at the link below.
The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Kidde Aerospace P/N 898052 hand-held halon fire extinguishers that are utilized on aircraft. This AD requires you to remove the affected fire extinguishers from service and would prevent you from using them in the future. This AD is the result of information that shows that the discharge time of the affected fire extinguishers exceeds the maximum allowable discharge time. The problem is due to incomplete crimping of the siphon tube. We are issuing this AD to remove from service fire extinguishers that had this incomplete crimping of the siphon tube. If not removed from service, these fire extinguishers could function at diminished levels and compromise the level of safety in an emergency situation.
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.
