Unsafe condition
This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the airplane manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2014-03-14, Amendment 39-17752 (79 FR 9382, February 19, 2014) (“AD 2014-03-14”).
