inboard or outboard fuel boost pump wiring. In one case evidence of electrical arcing was found on the fuel check valve located immediately above the pump. Subsequent to this advice three Australian aeroplanes have been found to have chafed fuel boost pump wiring.

            The original issue of this Directive required initial and repetitive inspections of the fuel boost pump wiring to detect chafing and, if necessary, repair or replacement of any damaged wiring. These actions were intended to prevent possible electrical arcing in the fuel tank and possible fire/explosion in the fuel tank.

            This amendment introduces a terminating action to the repetitive inspection requirements.

            The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 11 September 2000.
