AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2007-18-02
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-18-02
SUMMARY:
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: [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation Regulation 88). * * * Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for passenger transport aircraft * * * are required to conduct a design review against explosion risks. This Airworthiness Directive (AD), which renders mandatory the modification of the fuel pump wiring against short circuit, is a consequence of this design review.

The unsafe condition is chafing of the fuel pumpcables, which could result in short circuits leading to fuel pump failure, intermittent operation,arcing, and possible fuel tank explosion.

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
