Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Emergency AD 2021-0115-E, dated April 23, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0115-E).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a potential quality issue in the fuel pump that includes a locking key of the impeller drive shaft found loose in the cavity under the impeller. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which, if combined with a pump operating while not fully immersed in fuel, could create an ignition source in the fuel tank, and result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
