This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 100, 200, 300, and 400 series airplanes. This action requires checking the airplane maintenance records for any fuel, oil, or hydraulic hose, Cessna part number (P/N) S51-10, replaced between March 1995 and February 3, 1997 (the effective date of this AD); immediately checking any of these hoses for a diagonal or spiral external reinforcement wrap; and immediately replacing any of these hoses that have a diagonal or spiral external reinforcement wrap with one that has a criss-cross external reinforcement wrap. This action was prompted by reports of operators experiencing a loss of engine power because of low fuel feed, in addition to Cessna discovering that the rubber hose installed at the factory on certain Cessna Models 208 and 208B airplanes was defective. The Cessna P/N S51-10 rubber hose is utilized on fuel, oil, and hydraulic hoses on the affected airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fuel, oil, or hydraulic systems failure caused by a collapsed hose.
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.
