Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX Airplanes

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

Analyses of inservice reports revealed that in case of failure of the wings' antiice valve, indications of untimely antiicing with the wings' antiice selector on ``OFF'' or of insufficient antiicing with the wings' antiice selector on ``AUTO'' might not be properly displayed to the flight crew. It may result, on ground, in potential structural damages due to a leading edge overheat, or inflight, in an insufficient antiice power.
* * * * *
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

During a flight test performed on an EASy aircraft, subsequently to an air data probe failure, the crew realized that the Flight path vectors and the Vertical speeds that were displayed on pilot's and copilot's PDU (primary display unit) were identically wrong.

A review of the EASy architecture reveals that * * * One single ADS (air data system) unflagged air data error may lead to the [[Page 34609]]
computation and display on both pilot's and copilot's display units of unnoticed and misleading flight information.

At takeoff or during goaround this situation might considerably reduce flight safety.

On early FALCON airplanes featuring the EASy cockpit, a new oxygen controller has been installed. An internal review has determined that the passenger oxygen mask boxes do not fit this new controller. In OVERRIDE mode, that is to say, when the internal pressure reducer is bypassed, oxygen (O2) flow is nominal, while in NORMAL mode O2 flow is reduced by half compared to what it should be.

Consequently, in NORMAL mode the minimum mass flow of supplemental O2 for each passenger, as required by Certification Specifications, is no longer met. This could lead to passenger incommodation due to insufficient body oxygenation.

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

ENAC Italy AD 2004376 was issued in response to two separate reports of cracks found in the FirewalltoEngine mounting
attachments. Detachment of the engine mounts from the structure is the possible consequence. Although the actual cause has not been finally determined, some repairs have been approved to address and correct the unsafe condition.

This new AD, which supersedes ENAC Italy AD 2004376, retains the initial inspection requirement, adds repetitive inspections and clarifies the conditions under which aircraft that have been repaired by an approved method can be allowed to return to service. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on

Airworthiness Directives; Lindstrand Balloons Ltd. Models 42A, 56A, 60A, 69A, 77A, 90A, 105A, 120A, 150A, 180A, 210A,

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

Defective burner hoses have been identified which might develop a leak. A significant leak, if it was ignited, could hazard the balloon and occupants.

Since the issue of AD G20030010 there have been occurrences of hose failure in batches not identified in the earlier bulletins. LHAB Service Bulletin (SB) No 11 supersedes the earlier SBs and revises the applicability as required.
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Lockheed Model L-1011 Series Airplanes

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to all Lockheed Model L1011 series airplanes. That AD currently requires an inspection of the fuel level control switch, the fuel level control switch wiring harness, and the wiring harness conduit for damage, wear or chafing, broken or missing Orings, or indications of electrical arcing. That AD also requires replacement of a certain conduit in the fuel level control switch wiring harness, installation of electrical sleeving over the fuel level control switch wiring harness, and installation of the fuel level control switch that has been so modified. This new AD requires an inspection of the fuel level control switch, wiring harnesses, and harness conduit for any visible damage, wear or chafing, broken or missing Orings, or indications of electrical arcing; an inspection to determine the part number of the wiring harness conduit; and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD also requires replacing certain sleevi

Airworthiness Directives; M7 Aerospace LP SA226 and SA227 Series Airplanes

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain M7 Aerospace LP SA226 and SA227 series airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect electrical wires/components, hydraulic and bleed air tube assemblies at lefthand (LH) and righthand (RH) inboard wing leading edge/battery box areas, LH/RH wing stations 51.167 to 81.174, and at all feedthrough locations into the LH/RH inboard keelson. If chafing/ arcing is found, this AD requires you to reposition, repair, and/or replace all chafed electrical wires, components, and hydraulic and bleed air tube assemblies, as required. This AD also requires you to reposition the battery lead cables, cover fourgauge wires leaving the battery box with firesleeving and secure with clamps, and protect the battery power cable. This AD results from five reports of chafing between the bleed air tube and the electrical starter cables with one incident resulting in a fire. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct chafing/arcing of electrical wires, component

Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air Limited Model DHC-2 Series Airplanes

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

Cracks have been reported in the front spar center web of the tailplane at the pickup bracket and at lightening holes. If not detected early and repaired, these cracks may lead to failure of the tailplane.
We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Viking Air Limited Models DHC-2 Mk. I, DHC-2 Mk. II, and DHC-3 Airplanes

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

A complete loss of both ignition systems occurred on a DHC3 Otter when the lock wire hole in the ignition connector plug on the firewall broke out, allowing the plug to vibrate loose. A
maintenance safety feature grounds out both magneto systems through a springloaded safety pin incorporated into the Cannon plug. The DHC2 system is similar in design.

Subsequent to the issuance of AD CF200136 a complete loss of both ignition systems occurred on a DHC2 Beaver resulting in engine failure and subsequent forced approach and landing. Investigation by the Transportation Safety Board determined the internal failure of the magneto firewall connector resulted in both magnet

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F Series Airplanes

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 747400, 747400D, and 747400F series airplanes. This proposed AD would require installing an extension tube to the existing pump discharge port of the scavenge pump on the outboard side of the center fuel tank in the main fuel tank 2. This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent a fire or explosion in the fuel tank and consequent loss of the airplane.

Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Standards; Volvo Trucks North America, Inc.'s Exemption Application

Wed, Jun 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

FMCSA announces its decision to grant Volvo Trucks North America, Inc.'s (Volvo) application for an exemption for three of its drivers to enable them to testdrive commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in the United States without a commercial driver's license (CDL) issued by one of the States. Volvo had requested that the exemption cover three Swedish engineers and technicians who will test drive CMVs for Volvo within the U.S. They stated the exemption is needed to support a Volvo field test to meet future air quality standards and to testdrive Volvo prototype vehicles to verify results in ``real world'' environments. Each of these drivers holds a valid CDL issued in Sweden but lacks the U.S. residency necessary to obtain a CDL issued by one of the States in the U.S. FMCSA believes the knowledge and skills testing and training program that drivers must undergo to obtain a Swedish CDL ensures that these drivers will achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety
