We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions in accordance with Britten-Norman Service Bulletin Number SB 310, Issue 2, dated March 1, 2006:
(1) Within the next 60 days after the effective date of this AD, perform the inspection procedure and the leak test procedure as detailed in Section 6 Action, of Britten-Norman Service Bulletin Number SB 310, Issue 2, dated March 1, 2006. Repeat this inspection procedure and the leak test procedure at intervals not to exceed 500 hours time-in-service (TIS).
(2) In addition, within 500 hours after the initial inspection, perform an initial inspection of the drain traps for moisture. Repeat this inspection at intervals not to exceed 500 hours TIS.
(3) Before further flight, after any inspection or procedure required by this AD, correct, modify, or replace, as specified in the service information.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: This AD references the service bulletin as Britten-Norman Service Bulletin Number SB 310, Issue 2, dated March 1, 2006; and the MCAI references the service bulletin as B-N Service Bulletin 310 Issue 2.
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.
