number 4 engine continued to run for approximately six minutes until shut down by other means. No ECAM warning was triggered and despite the fuel system display indicated a closed position for the LPSOV, the valve was not fully closed.

            The valve assembly subsequently operated correctly following replacement of the fuel shut-off valve together with the associated pedestal assembly and the TMA.

            Investigations by the supplier of the TMA showed that the locating pin of the TMA and the locating slot in the pedestal had been damaged. It was also found that in some instances, due to manufacturing tolerances, it is possible to install the TMA and the pedestal with an incorrectly aligned locating pin.

            The original issue of this Directive corrected a potential unsafe condition by requiring a check of the locating pin length and an inspection of the pedestal for damage. The Directive also prohibited the installation of TMAs with certain part numbers unless they had been inspected.

            This Amendment continues the requirements of the original issue, but expands the applicability to include aircraft with Airbus Modification 48225 incorporated during production as LPSOVs with P/N FRH010041 may have been replaced during service with either P/N HTE190021 or HTE190026.

            The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective 2 October 2003.
