## EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

AD No.: 2011-0082

Date: 10 May 2011

Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States and of the European third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 66 of that Regulation. This AD is issued in accordance with EC 1702/2003, Part 21A.3 B. In accordance with EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the continuing airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applic able ADs. Consequently, no person may opera te an aircraft to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD unless otherwise specified by the Age ncy [EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [EC 216/2008, Article 14(4) exemptio n].

TCDS Number: EASA.E.122

Foreign AD: Not applicable

Supersedure : None



### ATA 73 Engine Fuel & Control – Fuel Pressure Regulator – Identification / Replacement

Manufacturer(s): BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co. KG, BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG; Bombardier-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG; Bombardier-Rotax GmbH Applicability: Rotax 914 F2, 914 F3 and 914 F4 engines, all serial numbers. These engines are known to be installed on, but not limited to, the following types of aeroplanes (mostly powered sailplanes): Aeromot AMT-300 Turbo Super Ximango, Aircraft Philipp (formerly Alpla-Werke; Nitsche) AVO 68 series Samburo, Diamond (formerly HOAC) HK 36 series Super Dimona, Scheibe SF 25C and Stemme S10-VT.

Note: The installation of these engines was either done by the respective aeroplane manufacturer or through modification of the aeroplane by Supplemental Type Certificate. Reason: Isolated manufacturing devia tions have been reportedly found on the threads of a certain batch of Fuel pr essure Regulators, Part Number (P/N) 887130, installed on Rotax 914 F series engines. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to a fuel leak and in-flight fire which would necessitate an engine shut-down, possibly resulting in a forced landing, with consequent damage to t he aeroplane and injury to occupants. For the reasons describe above, this AD requires the replacement of all affected P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulators with serviceable parts. Effective Date: 24 May 2011EASA AD No.: 2011-0082

EASA Form 110 Page 2/3 Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s) Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously: (1) Within 100 flight hours or 6 months, whichever occurs first after the effective date of this AD, accomplish the following actions: (1.1) Identify the serial number (s /n) of the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator installed on the aeroplane. (1.2) If the s/n of the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator, identified as required by paragraph (1.1) of this AD, is listed in Appendix 1 of this AD, replace the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator, in accordance with the instructions of BRP-Powertrain Mandatory Service Bulletin (SB) SB-914-040, with a serviceable unit, having a s/n not listed in Appendix 1 of this AD. (2) From the effective date of this AD, do not install a P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator on an engine, unless it has been determined that the s/n is not listed in Appendix 1 of this AD. (3) From the effective date of this AD, do not install a Rotax 914 F series engine on an aeroplane, unless it has been determined that the s/n of the P/N 887130 Fuel Pressure Regulator installed on that engine is not listed in Appendix 1 of this AD.
