AD NUMBER: 2005-15-16
MANUFACTURER: AvCraft Aerospace GmbH
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-15-16
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness
directive (AD) for certain AvCraft Dornier Model 328-00 airplanes.
This AD requires modifying the electrical wiring of the fuel pumps;
installing insulation at the flow control and shut-off valves, and
other components of the environmental control system; installing
markings at fuel wiring harnesses; replacing the wiring harness of
the auxiliary fuel system with a new wiring harness; and installing
insulated couplings in the fuel system; as applicable.
This AD also requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations
section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to
incorporate new inspections of the fuel tank system. This AD is
prompted by the results of fuel system reviews conducted by the
airplane manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to reduce the
potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in
combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank
explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
