 COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

            Background:  The United States Federal Aviation Administration received a report indicating that, during a production flight test, the flight crew reported the advisory message "FUEL PMP STAB R" and the caution message "FUEL STAB XFR" were displayed on the engine indicating and crew alerting system. Inspection revealed that a wire bundle routed to the fuel tank transfer pumps in the horizontal stabiliser was "pinched" between the head of a clamp fastener and adjacent structure. Evidence of arcing was also detected. Investigation then revealed that the wire bundle was routed incorrectly through a clamp near the transfer pump. This condition, if not corrected, could result in electrical arcing and a possible fire adjacent to the fuel tank.

            This Directive requires a one-time inspection to determine if wire bundles W4601 and W4602 are routed incorrectly and to detect damage, and corrective actions, if necessary.
