Airworthiness Directives; Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd., Model Astra SPX Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Israel Aircraft Industries Model Astra SPX series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking of the main fuel tube assemblies of the left and right engines, and corrective action, if necessary. 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 detect and correct fuel line fractures, which could result in in-flight engine shutdowns or an increased risk of engine nacelle fires.
