B. REASON
Some cases of defective sealing have been evidenced on in-service aircraft on LH and RH nacelles at level of the junction between the bottom structure and the underwing box. Defective sealing may decrease the extinguishing agent efficiency, delay the fire extinction, and allow fire propagation out of the engine fire area. Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin consists in inspecting on the nacelles the sealing between the bottom structure and the underwing box and to recover the correct design if necessary.

COMPLIANCE : Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin is mandatory. An Airworthiness Directive will be issued by EASA.SERVICE BULLETIN ATR42
