Abstract
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of fuel quantity indication malfunctions caused by fuel probe failure. This AD requires identifying the part number and serial number of the fuel probes, and replacing the fuel probes if necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel probe failure, which could lead to undetected fuel starvation and consequent dual engine in-flight flame-out.
