Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11026 · Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA), Model C-212 Series Airplanes
Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA), Model C-212 Series Airplanes
All Model C-212 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all CASA Model C-212 series airplanes, that requires repetitive visual inspections for damage or ``electrical spark marks'' on the cover plates for the fuel pumps, and corrective actions, if necessary. This AD also requires modification of the fuel pump installation by incorporating a non-conductive film on the cover plate, which constitutes terminating action for this AD. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent electrical shorting between the fuel pump electrical connections and the fuel pump cover plate, which could result in the ignition of fuel vapor and consequent fuel tank explosion/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.
