Airworthiness Directive 2013-23094
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Robinson Helicopter Company (Robinson)
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Robinson Model R22, R22 Alpha, R22 Beta, and R22 Mariner helicopters with certain fuel shut-off valves installed. This AD requires replacing the fuel shut-off valve with a newer design fuel shut-off valve. This AD is prompted by three accidents that occurred because the fuel shut- off valve was inadvertently moved to the "off" position. These actions are intended to prevent inadvertent closing of the fuel valve, which could result in engine power loss from which a safe landing may not be possible.
Which aircraft AD 2013-23094 applies to
Applies only to helicopters with fuel shut-off valve P/N A670-1 revision A through H installed, serial numbers 0002 through 4271.
Whether AD 2013-23094 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
