Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10527 · AlliedSignal Inc. Model TFE731-40R-200G Turbofan Engines
AlliedSignal Inc. Model TFE731-40R-200G Turbofan Engines
AlliedSignal Inc. Model TFE731-40R-200G turbofan engines, equipped with a fuel line, part number (P/N) 3061191-1, between the main fuel pump and the motive flow pump. These engines are installed on but not limited to Israel Aircraft Industries LTD. (IAI) Model Astra SPX aircraft.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to AlliedSignal Inc. Model TFE731-40R-200G turbofan engines. This action requires replacing the fuel line between the main fuel pump and the motive flow pump with a serviceable assembly and adding a supporting bracket and clamp. This amendment is prompted by a report of a cracked fuel line between the main fuel pump and the motive flow pump causing the spraying of fuel on and around electrical components. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fuel spraying on and around electrical components due to a cracked fuel line, which could result in an engine fire.
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.
