This AD is issued in accordance with EC 1702/2003, Part 21A.3B. In accordance with EC 2042/2003 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the continuing airworthi ness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person may operate an aircraft to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD , unless otherwise specified by the Agency [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 ) exemption].

Reason: Reports from the field confirmed a non

- compliance of pressure side fuel hose s i n stalled on certain P/N 893114 fuel pump s, which may have resulted in a latent defect on a limited number of engines. The affected fuel hoses may not be fuel resistant in accord ance 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 engine shutdown and forced landing, damage to the aer opl ane 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 prohibit ed installation of an affected engine on an aeroplane, unless the fuel pump installation of that engine ha d been corrected as required by th e 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 than those specified by s/n in BRP

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- E, which is superseded, expands the Applicability to all Rotax 912 series engines and correct s Table 1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

. Effective Date: 01 June 2012 Required A ction(s) and Compliance Time(s) : Required as indicated, unless accomplished 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 li eu of this inspection , a review 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 are known to have had an affected fuel pump installed, as delivered by BRP

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