## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all aircraft (specifically balloons) that incorporate certain Cameron Balloons Ltd. (Thunder and Colt) titanium propane cylinders, part number (P/N) CB2380 and P/N CB2383. This AD requires that you remove from service any of the affected titanium propane cylinders and replace each affected cylinder with an FAA-approved airworthy propane cylinder. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent titanium propane cylinders from cracking and releasing propane gas vapor while the balloon is in service. This could result in a propane explosion and fire.
