SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2010-16-01
SUMMARY: This AD supersedes an
existingAD for the products listed above. It results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an
airworthiness authority of another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The earlier MCAI,
Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-02, effective September
27, 2007, describes the unsafe condition as:
Fuel system reassessment, performed according to RBHA-E88/SFAR- 88
(Regulamento Brasileiro de Homologacao Aeronautica 88/Special
Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88), requires the inclusion of new
maintenance tasks in the Critical Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL) and in the Fuel System Limitations (FSL),
necessary to preclude ignition sources in the fuel
system.
The new MCAI, Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-08-03,
effective August 20, 2009, describes the unsafe condition as:
An airplane fuel tank systems review required by Special Federal
Aviation Regulation Number 88 (SFAR 88) and "RBHA Especial
N[uacute]mero 88' (RBHA E 88) has shown that additional
maintenance and inspection instructions are necessary to maintain
the design features required to preclude the existence or
development of an ignition source within the fuel tanks of the
airplane.
The FAA is issuing this AD to require actions to correct the
unsafe condition on these products.
