Note 1: This AD
applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision,
regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area
subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified,
altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is
affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of
compliance in accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD. The request should
include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair
on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has
not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to
address it.
Compliance:
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.
To prevent
inability to shut off the flow of fuel to an engine after an uncontained engine
failure, which could result in a fire spreading to other parts of the airplane,
accomplish the following:
