Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11406 · Raytheon Model Hawker 1000 Series Airplanes
Raytheon Model Hawker 1000 Series Airplanes
Model Hawker 1000 series airplanes, serial numbers 258151, 258159, and 259003 through 259052 inclusive, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Raytheon Model Hawker 1000 series airplanes, that requires a visual inspection of the PS wire bundle, shielded wires going to fuel probe `G,' and any other wire or wire bundle for chafing in the forward wing spar and forward ventral tank area; and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that, due to improper routing of a wire bundle, the wire bundle chafed against the forward ventral tank transfer/crossfeed valve, which caused an electrical short and resulted in failure of the landing light. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent a short circuit due to wire chafing, which can cause a fire in the ventral fuel tank area.
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.
