Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14253 · Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd., Model 1124 and 1124A Airplanes
Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd., Model 1124 and 1124A Airplanes
This AD applies to all Israel Model 1124 and 1124A airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd., Model 1124 and 1124A airplanes. This AD requires a one-time inspection for chafing of the electrical bundles in the overhead circuit breaker panel, and for adequate clearance between the fuselage frame and adjacent structures; and repair and rework if necessary. This AD results from reports of fire and smoke occurring in the passenger cabin. This AD also requires certain preventive actions. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the electrical bundles in the overhead circuit breaker panel, which could result in a short circuit and consequent fire and smoke in the airplane.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 60 days after the effective date of this AD, perform a one-time general visual inspection for chafing of the electrical bundles in the overhead circuit breaker panel and for adequate clearance between the fuselage frame and the “No Smoking—Fasten Seat Belt” sign, and perform the preventive actions, in accordance with 1124-Westwind (Israel Aircraft Service Industries) Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 1124-24A-154, dated March 22, 2004.
Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a general visual inspection is: “A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation, or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within touching distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to ensure visual access to all surfaces in the inspection area. This level of inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or droplight and may require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked.”
If any chafing of the electrical bundles or inadequate clearance is detected during the inspection required by paragraph (f) of this AD, before further flight, repair and rework, as applicable; in accordance with 1124-Westwind (Israel Aircraft Industries) Alert Service Bulletin 1124-24A-154, dated March 22, 2005.
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.
