AD 2020-16-12 Airworthiness Directives; Pacific Aerospace Limited Airplanes
Makes named: pacific aerospace. Models named: 750XL. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL airplanes, serial numbers 101 through 216, 220, 8001, and 8002, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Unless already done, within the next 30 days after September 8, 2020 (the effective date of this AD), inspect the position of the fuel condition lever by following the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 2(1), of Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/111, Issue 1, dated June 18, 2019 (MSB PACSB/XL/111). If the fuel condition lever is not positioned against the left side of the control guide slot in the ground idle position, before further flight, adjust the fuel condition level position by following the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 2(3), of MSB PACSB/XL/111.
Required actions
The Manager, Small Airplane General Aviation & Rotorcraft Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Mike Kiesov, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, General Aviation & Rotorcraft Section, International Validation Branch, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 329-4144; fax: (816) 329-4090; email: mike.kiesov@faa.gov. Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by inadvertent fuel shut-off to the engine during the operation of the flaps, due to the fuel and flap control levers being located too closely together. The FAA is issuing this AD to adjust the position of the fuel condition lever relative to the control guide, which will prevent inadvertent movement of the power lever into the cutoff position if ground idle is selected and result in engine failure and loss of airplane control.
Affected ADs
None.
