hours time in service from the effective date of this Airworthiness Directive amendment.

            This Amendment becomes effective on 27 December 2001.

            Background: This Directive has been issued to address reports of fuel filter by-pass valves being found jammed during scheduled fuel filter maintenance. Failure of the filter by-pass valve could result in an engine flameout. This amendment is raised to reflect the manufacturer's revision to the requirement document. The revision, in part, provides a terminating action. The requirements of this Directive are no longer applicable to helicopters incorporating Mod. 0726087 (SB 28-00-38).

            Amendment 3 was raised to delete the AS332L2 model and to add a fuel filter part number and became effective on 28 December 2000.

            Amendment 2 was raised to include an additional P/N filter and to reference R2 of the manufacturer's service telex and became effective on 13 July 2000.

            Amendment 1 was raised to list affected fuel filters by part number and became effective 25 February 1999.

            The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 5 August 1998.
