Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19278 · Wings
Pacific Aerospace Limited Airplanes
This AD applies to Pacific Aerospace Limited Models 750XL airplanes, all serial numbers up to and including 135, except serial number 113; certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes. 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 abrasion damage to the wing leading edge that could result in a fuel leak. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this AD.
(1) Within 30 days after June 4, 2018 (the effective date of this AD), inspect the leading edge skin of both wings at the wing root following the Inspection Instructions in Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/091, Issue 3, dated March 15, 2018.
(2) If any signs of chafing are found during the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, repair following Part A—Accomplishment Instructions and Part B—Accomplishment Instructions in Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/091, Issue 3, dated March 15, 2018.
(3) If no signs of chafing are found during the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, apply the anti-abrasion patch following Part B—Accomplishment Instructions in Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/091, Issue 3, dated March 15, 2018.
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.
