12968 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 20, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective April 24, 2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Model R2160 

airplanes, serial numbers 001 through 191, 

certificated in any category. 

Reason 

(d) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) references 

Alpha Aviation Service Bulletin AA–SB–28–

002, dated June 28, 2006, which states that: 

Development of the New Zealand 

produced Alpha 160A aircraft identified an 

issue with the fuel shut-off valve, where it 

may not be possible to switch the valve ON 

once the valve has been placed in the OFF 

position. This is due to friction in the shutoff system. 

The fuel shut-off valve, which is normally 

ON, is a safety feature to allow the pilot to 

stop fuel flow to the engine in an emergency 

situation such as a forced landing without 

power. The fuel shut-off control is guarded 

and requires a deliberate action by the pilot 

to operate. 

Not withstanding this, a hazardous 

situation is possible if the fuel shut-off valve 

is inadvertently switched OFF in flight and 

the pilot is not able to switch it back ON. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) To prevent the shut-off valve from 

remaining partially closed when the selector 

is turned to the ON position, due to the 

possibility of excess friction in the fuel shutoff valve causing deflection of the push pull 

cable, accomplish the inspection and rework 

instructions in Alpha Aviation Service 

Bulletin AA–SB–28–002, dated June 28, 

2006, within 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) 

after the effective date of this AD. 

(2) If the fuel shut-off valve cable is bent, 

replace the cable per Alpha Aviation Service 

Bulletin AA–SB–28–002, before further 

flight. 

(3) If the force required to operate the fuel 

shut-off valve exceeds the limits specified in 

Alpha Aviation Service Bulletin AA–SB–28–

002, dated June 28, 2006, rework or replace 

the valve as required, per Alpha Aviation 

Service Bulletin AA–SB–28–002, dated June 

28, 2006, before further flight.
