Reason: Reports from the field confirmed a non

- compliance of pressure side fuel hose s installed on certain P/N 893114 fuel pump s, which may have resulted in a latent defect on a limited number of engines. The affe cted fuel hoses may not be fuel resistant in accordance with the specification. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to detachment of particles from theEASA AD No

. fuel hose and irregularities in the carburettor function, possibly resulting in in

flight engin e shutdown and forced landing, damage to the aer oplane and injury to occupants. To address this potential unsafe condition , EASA issued Emergency AD 2012

- 009 3

- E to require the replacement of the pressure side fuel hose on certain fuel pump s, identified by P/N 893114. Th at AD also prohibited installation of an affected engine on an aeroplane, unless the fuel pump installation of that engine ha d been corrected as required by the AD. Since that AD was issued, the relevant BRP

- Powertrain Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) ASB

- 912

- 061 has been revised (R1) to correct the list of affected P/N 893114 fuel pumps , identified by s/n . As some of these pumps (including potentially defective hoses) have been delivered as spares, they could also be installed on other engines th an those specified by s/n in BRP

- Powertrain ASB

912

- 061R1. For the reasons described above, t his AD retains the requirements of EASA Emergency AD 2012

- 0093

- E, which is superseded, expands the Applicability to all Rotax 912 series engines and correct s Table 1

- Affected P/N 893114 fuel pumps . In addition, 2 aeroplane types have been removed from the Applicability of this AD : Aeromot AMT 300 Turbo Super Ximango and Stemme S10 VT have a Rotax 914 engine installed, not a Rotax 912

. This AD has been re vised to c orrect Table 1 of the Re quired Action(s) and Compliance Time(s) section , which did not contain all affected s/n fuel pumps

. Effective Date: 01 June 2012 [same as original AD] Required A ction(s) and Compliance Time(s) : Required as indicated, unless accomp lished previously: (1) B efore next flight after the effective date of this AD, accomplish the following actions concurrently: (1.1) Inspect the P/N 893114 fuel pump installed on the engine to identify the s/n of the pump

. In lieu of this inspection, a rev iew of engine installation

- or maintenance records is acceptable to identify the s/n of the fuel pump, provided those records can be relied upon for that purpose, and the s/n of the fuel pump can be conclusively identified from that review. Engines that ar e known to have had an affected fuel pump installed, as delivered by BRP

- Powertrain, are also identified by engine s/n in BRP
