               Shorts 360

                 Requirement: 1. Inspect the PBE units in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Puritan Bennett Aero Systems Service Bulletin 119003-35-1 dated 15 February 1993 to confirm that a yellow label is attached to the red rip tag.

               2. Remove from service units without the yellow label.

               Note: FAA AD 93-24-16 Amdt 39-8765 refers.

    Compliance: 1. Prior to 1 March 1996.

               2. Immediately following the inspection.

    Background: Some PBE units have been found to have deteriorated neck seals.

               This condition could reduce the protection afforded the crewmember if the PBE unit was used while locating and/or extinguishing an inflight fire.

               Compliance with this Directive provides a method of early detection of PBE units with deteriorated neck seals and decreases the likelihood of crewmembers being affected by smoke.
