Airworthiness Directive 99-3036
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA), Model C-212 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all CASA Model C-212 series airplanes, that requires repetitive visual inspections for damage or ``electrical spark marks'' on the cover plates for the fuel pumps, and corrective actions, if necessary. This AD also requires modification of the fuel pump installation by incorporating a non-conductive film on the cover plate, which constitutes terminating action for this AD. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent electrical shorting between the fuel pump electrical connections and the fuel pump cover plate, which could result in the ignition of fuel vapor and consequent fuel tank explosion/fire.
Which aircraft AD 99-3036 applies to
incorporating
Whether AD 99-3036 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.
