AD NUMBER: 2005-19-18
MANUFACTURER: Short
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-19-18
SUMMARY: The
FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which
applies to all Short Brothers Model SD3-30 and SD3-60 airplanes
equipped with certain fire extinguishers. That AD currently
requires replacement of the covers for fire extinguisher adapter
assemblies that are installed on certain bulkheads with new covers
that swivel to lock the extinguishers in place; and replacement of
nozzles and triggers on these fire extinguishers with better
fitting nozzles and stronger triggers. The existing AD also
currently requires the installation of new fire extinguisher point
placards and a revision of the airplane flight manual (AFM) to
instruct the flightcrew in the use of the new covers for these
adapter assemblies. This new AD also requires modification of the
fire extinguishing point adapter assembly of the forward and aft
baggage bays as applicable. This new AD also adds airplanes to the
applicability. For these new airplanes, this new AD requires a
revision to the AFM for instructions on using the new fire
extinguisher adapter. This AD results from reports of individuals
experiencing fire extinguishant blowback when the extinguishant
discharges through the fire extinguishing point adapters. We are
issuing this AD to prevent fire extinguishant blowback, which could
result in injury to a person using the fire extinguisher in the
event of a fire.
