               Note 2: FAA AD 99-24-06 Amdt 39-11430 refers.
 COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

 Compliance: For Requirement 1:

             Auxiliary fuel tank boost pumps - Within six months after the effective date of this directive.

             Centre and main fuel tank boost pumps - Within 12 months after the effective date of this directive.

            For Requirement 2 - Before further flight.

            For Requirement 3 - As of the effective date of this Directive.

            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 19 February 2000.

            Background:  This Directive requires a one-time inspection to determine the presence and condition of the breather plug in each fuel tank boost pump; together with either installation of a new plug or replacement of the boost pump with a new or serviceable pump, if necessary. The issue of the Directive is prompted by a report received by the FAA that breather plugs were missing from fuel tank boost pumps.

            The actions specified by this Directive are intended to prevent possible ignition of fuel vapour in the fuel tank boost pump, which could result in a fuel tank explosion in the event of a boost pump internal failure.
