Airworthiness Directive 95-02-13
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Series Airplanes Equipped With General Electric CF6-80C2 Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes, that requires modification of the fire extinguishing system in the number two engine strut. This amendment is prompted by reports of chafing of the fire extinguishing tubes [[Page 8539]] in a certain inboard strut to wing area. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent chafing of the fire extinguishing tube; such chafing could cause cracking of the tube and consequently produce a hole in the fire extinguishing tube, which could prevent the proper distribution of the fire extinguisher agent within the nacelle in the event of a fire.
Which aircraft AD 95-02-13 applies to
Applies to Boeing 747 airplanes to ensure proper distribution of fire extinguisher agent in the No. 2 engine nacelle in the event of a fire. Requires modifying the fire extinguishing system in the No. 2 engine strut per Boeing Alert SB 747-26A2226, dated June 30, 1994, or Revision 1, dated November 23, 1994, within 6 months of the effective date (March 17, 1995).
Whether AD 95-02-13 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.
