Cirrus Design Corporation Models SR20 and SR22 Airplanes
This AD affects the following airplane models and serial numbers that are certificated in any category:

| SR22 | 0002 through 1643 and 1645 through 1662. |
The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cirrus Design Corporation (CDC) Models SR20 and SR22 airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the fuel line and wire bundles for any chafing damage; replace any damaged fuel line and repair any damaged wires or sheathing of the wire harness if any chafing damage is found; and install (to prevent any chafing damage to the fuel line and wire bundles) the forward loop clamp, fuel line shield, aft loop clamp, and anti-chafe tubing. This AD results from reports of fuel line leaks resulting from wire chafing on the fuel lines. We are issuing this AD to detect, correct, and prevent damage to the fuel line and wire bundles, which could result in fuel leaks. This failure could lead to unsafe fuel vapor within the cockpit and possible fire.
To address this problem, you must do the following:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Inspect the fuel line and wire harness for any chafing damage | Within the next 50 hours time-in-service (TIS) after May 11, 2006 (the effective date of this AD) | Follow Cirrus Design Corporation Service Bulletin SB 2X-28-04 R1, Issued: November 1, 2005, Revised: November 14, 2005. |
| (2) If any chafing damage is found as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD: (i) Replace any damaged fuel line; and (ii) Repair any damaged wires or sheathing of the wire harness | Before further flight after the inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD | Follow Cirrus Design Corporation Service Bulletin SB 2X-28-04 R1, Issued: November 1, 2005, Revised: November 14, 2005. |
| (3) Install the following: (i) Forward loop clamp; (ii) Fuel line shield; (iii) Aft loop clamp; and (iv) Anti-chafe tubing | Within the next 50 hours time-in-service (TIS) after May 11, 2006 (the effective date of this AD) | Follow Cirrus Design Corporation Service Bulletin SB 2X-28-04 R1, Issued: November 1, 2005, Revised: November 14, 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.
