Airworthiness Directives; Dornier-Werke G.m.b.H. Model Do 27 Q-6 Airplanes
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Dornier-Werke G.m.b.H. (Dornier) Model Do 27 Q-6 airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the aileron and flap control cables for proper clearance from the fuel lines in the fuselage and make necessary adjustments; and inspect the fuel lines for damage and correct routing. This AD also requires you to replace all damaged fuel lines and reroute incorrectly routed fuel lines. After all other corrective action is taken, this AD also requires you to install protective sleeves on the fuel lines. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct damaged fuel lines and prevent the potential for further damage occurring to the fuel lines in the fuselage. Damage to the fuel lines could result in fuel leaking into the fuselage, which could cause a fire or explosion.
