The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all airplanes equipped with Aero Advantage ADV200 series (part numbers ADV211CC and ADV212CW) vacuum pumps installed under supplemental type certificate number SA10126SC, through field approval, or other methods. This AD requires you to remove from service any affected vacuum pump and install an FAA-approved vacuum pump other than the affected part numbers. This AD results from several reports of pump chamber failure. We are issuing this AD to prevent vacuum pump failure or malfunction during instrument flight rules (IFR) flight that could lead to loss of flight instruments critical for flight. The loss of flight instruments could cause pilot disorientation and loss of control of the aircraft.
To address this problem, you must do the following:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Remove from service any Areo Advantage ADV200 series (P/Ns ADV211CC and ADV212CW) vacuum pump | Within 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) or the next 12 calendar months after March 10, 2006 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, unless already done | Not Applicable. |
| (2) Install an FAA-approved vacuum pump that is not an Aero Advantage ADV200 series vacuum pump. | Prior to further flight after removing any Aero Advantage ADV200 series vacuum pump | Not Applicable. |
| (3) If you choose not to utilize the Aero Advantage vacuum pump monitoring system per STC SA10126SC, then do the following: (i) Remove the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) for STC SA10126SC and the placard for the vacuum pump monitoring system. (ii) Complete the appropriate logbook entry and Form 337 to show that the airplane is no longer equipped with STC SA10126SC. | Prior to further flight after removing any Aero Advantage ADV200 series vacuum pump | Not Applicable. |
| (4) If you choose to utilize the Aero Advantage vacuum pump monitoring system per STC SA10126SC, then do the following: (i) Connect the replacement vacuum pump to the vacuum pump monitoring system. (ii) Make the following notation to the front of the AFMS for STC SA10126SC: “The Aero Advantage vacuum pump was removed to comply with AD 2005-**-**, and this AFMS now gives instructions for the operation of the vacuum pump monitoring system with a replacement vacuum pump.” (iii) Attach a copy of the Phoenix Group Service Bulletin No. 05-01, dated November 22, 2005, to the AFMS for STC SA10126SC. | Prior to further flight after removing any Aero Advantage ADV200 series vacuum pump | Connect the vacuum pump monitoring system with the procedures in Phoenix Group, Service Bulletin No. 05-01, dated November 22, 2005. |
| (5) Do not install any Aero Advantage ADV200 series (P/Ns ADV211CC and ADV212CW) vacuum pump. | As of March 10, 2006 (the effective date of this AD) | Not Applicable. |
