AD NUMBER: 2007-08-03
MANUFACTURER: Cessna
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-08-03
SUMMARY: The FAA is
adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) to supersede AD
2006-17-04, which applies to certain Cessna Aircraft Company
(Cessna) Models 172R, 172S, 182T, T182T, 206H, and T206H airplanes.
AD 2006-17-04 currently requires you to inspect the two end
fittings on each of the flexible fuel hoses located in the engine
compartment for the correct torque values, and, if any incorrect
torque values are found during the inspection, tighten the hose end
fittings to the correct torque values. This AD results from four
reports of loose fuel lines connected to the fuel servo or fuel
flow transducer. Two reports were of in-flight engine failure on a
Model T182T airplane. A third report was of in-flight engine
failure on a Model 206H airplane. A fourth report was of a Model
172S airplane losing engine power on final approach. Consequently,
this AD would require you to establish the correct torque values of
the end fittings on fuel hoses for certain Cessna Models 172R,
172S, 182T, T182T, 206H, and T206H airplanes. This AD clarifies
that the torque values need to be physically established and visual
inspection only is not sufficient. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct potential loss of fuel flow, which may resultin partial
or complete loss of engine power and/or uncontrolled engine
compartment fire due to fuel leakage forward of the firewall.
