39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

            Compliance: For Requirement 1 - Within 1800 hours time in service from the effective date of this Directive.

            For Requirement 2 - Before further flight.

            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 5 October 2000.

            Background:  The Federal Aviation Administration has received reports of electrical arcing on structure near the lower body anti-collision light due to chafing of the cable. This Directive requires either an inspection to detect damage or chafing of the insulation or wires, modification of the cable assembly, and repairs, if necessary; or replacement of the cable assembly of the lower anti-collision light with a new cable assembly. These actions are intended to prevent chafing as a result of improper installation of the lower body anti-collision light assembly, which could result in electrical arcing or sparking in a flammable leakage zone of the aeroplane.
