Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14623 · Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd. Model 750XL Airplanes
Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd. Model 750XL Airplanes
This AD affects Model 750XL airplanes, serial numbers 110 through 120, that are certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd. Model 750XL airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the condition of the insulation of the wiring adjacent to the electrical plugs mounted in the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) sides of the forward end of the cockpit center console for signs of abrasion and arcing. If you find any evidence of abrasion or arcing, this AD requires you to replace the affected wire(s) and secure the wires away from the back shells of the electrical plugs. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for New Zealand. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct damaged wires on the LH and RH sides of the forward end of the cockpit center console, which could result in short-circuiting of the related wiring. This could lead to electrical failure of affected systems and potential fire in the cockpit.
To address this problem, you must do the following, unless already done:
| Action | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Inspect the condition of the insulation of the wiring adjacent to the electrical plugs mounted in the LH and RH sides of the forward end of the cockpit center console for signs of abrasion and arcing | Within the next 50 hours time-in-service after July 14, 2006 (the effective date of this AD) | Follow Pacific Aerospace Corporation Mandatory Service Bulletin No. PACSB/XL/016, Issue 1, Date Issued: September 23, 2005. |
| (2) If you find any evidence of abrasion or arcing during the inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, replace the affected wire(s) and secure the wire(s) away from the back shells of the electrical plugs | Before further flight after the inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD | Follow Pacific Aerospace Corporation Mandatory Service Bulletin No. PACSB/XL/016, Issue 1, Date Issued: September 23, 2005. |
| (3) If you do not find any evidence of abrasion or arcing during the inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, secure the wires away from the back shells of the electrical plugs | Before further flight after the inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD | Follow Pacific Aerospace Corporation Mandatory Service Bulletin No. PACSB/XL/016, Issue 1, Dated Issued: September 23, 2005. |
