Abstract
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2008-06-52 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of certain TAE Model TAE 125-02-99 engines. This AD requires, before further flight, replacing the high-pressure fuel line and installing a high-pressure fuel line support. This AD results from reports of in-flight engine shutdown incidents on airplanes equipped with TAE 125-02-99 engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent an in-flight engine shutdown or engine fire due to a cracked fuel line.
