FUEL SYSTEM AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATION ITEMS - CHECKS

1 General

These ALl's identify inspection tasks related to fuel tank ignition source prevention, which must

be done to maintain the design level of safety for the operational life of the airplane, These All's

are mandatory and cannot be changed or deleted without the approval of the European Aviation

Safety Agency (EASA), or the national regulatory authority office that is responsible for the SD3

Type Certificate.

Strict adherence to methods, techniques and practices as referred in the All's is required to

ensure the All is complied with. Any use of methods, techniques or practices not contained in

these All's must be approved by EASA, or the national regulatory authority office that is

responsible for the SD3 Type Certificate.

2. Exceptional Short-Term Extensions

An exceptional short-term extension for a specific Fuel System All interval may be made on one

aircraft for a limited period of time without jeopardising safety.

The term 'exceptional short-term extension' is defined as an increase in a Fuel System All

interval that may be needed to cover an uncontrollable or unexpected situation. Repeated use of

such extensions, either on the same aircraft or on similar aircraft in the operators fleet, should not

be used as a substitute for good management practices.

Unless noted adjacent to the task, for all Fuel System All's identified above, it has been

accepted by the Primary Certification Office (EASA) that short-term extensions up to the followi'l9

maximum values may be granted without consultation with that office. Requests for extensions in

excess of these values must be submitted with full justification to the Primary Certification Office

(EASA) such that approval, if granted, can be given prior to their use.

A. Fuel System All's controlled by Flight Hours (FH)

Extensions up to 10% or 500 FH (whichever is lesser) may exceptionally be granted on Fuel

System All intervals quoted in terms of flight hours.

8. Fuel System All's controlled by Calendar Time (M or Years)

Where the repeat interval is 12 months or less, extensions up to 10% or 1 month (whichever

is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on Fuel System AU intervals quoted in terms of

months.

Where the repeat interval is greater than 12 months but less than 3 years, extensions up to 2

months may exceptionally be granted.

Where the repeat interval is 3 years or greater, extensions up to 3 months may exceptionally

be granted.

It is the operators responsibility to identify appropriate procedures with their local regulatory

authority for the control and development of their maintenance program.

This paragraph in the Fuel Airworthiness Limitation document is written to confirm to the local

regulatory authority that exceptional short-term extensions of Fuel System All intervals are

permissible. Approval of such extensions rests with the local authority in the same way as it

does for any other scheduled maintenance task interval extension.
