             2. If any discrepancy is found during the Requirement 1 inspection carry out the corrective action per the applicable SBs listed in Requirement 1 above.

           Note 4: FAA AD 2001-10-14 Amdt 39-12240 refers.

 Compliance: For Requirement 1 - Initially, within 90 days after the effective date of this Directive.
           In addition, before further flight, after each replacement of any chemical oxygen generator and/or passenger, attendant, or lavatory service unit assembly that contains a chemical oxygen generator.

           For Requirement 2 - Before further flight after the Requirement 1 inspection. This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 9 June 2001.
           Background: This Directive requires the repetitive inspection of any chemical oxygen generators and/or passenger, attendant, or lavatory service unit assemblies of the passenger oxygen system that have been replaced. This inspection is to verify correct installation of the release pin in the generator firing mechanism of the oxygen generator. The Directive also requires any necessary corrective action to be accomplished.

           This action is necessary to find and fix incorrect installation of the release pin in the generator firing mechanism, which could result in the unavailability of supplemental oxygen and possible incapacitation of passengers and cabin crew during an in-flight decompression.
