Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14816 · Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Model DA 40 Airplanes
Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Model DA 40 Airplanes
This AD applies to Model DA 40 airplanes equipped with Garmin G1000 supplemental type certificate (STC) SA01254WI, serial numbers 40.448 through 40.673, excluding 40.538, 40.590, 40.641, 40.642, 40.644, 40.651, 40.654, 40.655, and 40.699, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as during production installation of the Garmin G1000 supplemental type certificate (STC) some parts of the installed fuel system indicating system were contaminated with particles from the manufacturing process. This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
Prior to further flight, unless already done, inspect engine fuel system for possible contamination of fuel per Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Mandatory Service Bulletin No. MSB 40-048/2, Revision 2, dated September 26, 2006; and Work Instruction WI-MSB-40.048/2, Revision 2, dated September 26, 2006.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.
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.
