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:
(1) Within the next 25 hours time-in-service after September 22, 2010 (the effective date of this AD), replace fuel pump P/N 892230, 892232, 892540, 892235, 892236, or 892545 with an FAA-approved fuel pump that does not have one of the P/Ns referenced above following Rotax Aircraft Engines Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-912-053, dated April 13, 2007.
(2) As of September 22, 2010 (the effective date of this AD) do not install fuel pump P/N 892230, 892232, 892540, 892235, 892236, or 892545, on any airplane.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: The MCAI requires replacing an affected fuel pump with fuel pump P/N 892542 or 892546. This AD requires replacement of an affected fuel pump with an FAA-approved fuel pump that does not have one of the P/Ns referenced in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.
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.
