2008-06-16 Pacific Aerospace Corporation, Ltd.: Amendment 39-15428; Docket No. FAA-2008-0034; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-097-AD. 

Effective Date 

	(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective April 23, 2008. 

Affected ADs 

	(b) None. 

Applicability 

	(c) This AD applies to Model 750XL airplanes, serial numbers 102 through 134, certificated in any category. 

	Note 1: The applicability of this AD takes precedence over Pacific Aerospace Corporation Limited Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/009, issue 2, revised July 23, 2004. 

Subject 

	(d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 39: Electrical Wiring. 

Reason 

	(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 
	DCA/750XL/3A is prompted by a report from the manufacturer of the possibility that wiring loom protective sleeving is not fitted to aircraft S/N 107 through to 134. AD applicability revised to include aircraft up to S/N 134. 
	To prevent fretting damage to the wiring loom that may lead to arcing in proximity to the fuel vent lines and the possibility of fire, inspect the main wiring loom on the right hand side of the aircraft adjacent to the frames at station 114.34'' and 118.84'', per PACSB/XL/009 issue 2, to ensure that two pieces of protective sleeving are fitted. 

The effectivity of the service information is serial number (S/N) 102 through 106. The MCAI expanded the applicability to S/N 102 through 134. 

Actions and Compliance 

	(f) Unless already done, do the following actions: 
	(1) Within the next 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after April 23, 2008 (the effective date of this AD), inspect the main wiring loom on the right hand side of the aircraft adjacent to the frames at station 114.34'' and 118.84'' to ensure there are two pieces of protective sleeving installed following Pacific Aerospace Corporation Limited Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/009, issue 2, revised July 23, 2004. 
	(2) If you find the protective sleeves are missing as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, install protective sleeves following Pacific Aerospace Corporation Mandatory Service Bulletin PACSB/XL/009, issue 2, revised July 23, 2004.
