Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all IAI, Ltd., Model 1125 Westwind Astra and Astra SPX series airplanes. This action requires disabling of the baggage compartment electrical heating blankets. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent overheating of the electrical heating blankets, and consequent increased risk of fire in the baggage compartment.
