We are issuing this AD to prevent erroneous indications from thealtimeter, airspeed, and vertical speed indicators, which could cause the pilot to react to incorrect flight information and possibly result in loss of control. \n\nCompliance \n\n\t(e) For all affected airplanes, to address this problem, you must do the following, unless already done: \n\n\nActions \nCompliance \nProcedures \n(1) Inspect the alternate static air source selector valve to assure that the part number identification placard is not obstructing the port. \n(i) For static air source selector valves installed before May 12, 2008 (The effective date of this AD): Before further flight after May 12, 2008 (the effective date of this AD), and \n(ii) For static air source selector valves installed as modification or replacement parts on or after May 12, 2008 (the effective date of this AD): Before further flight after installation of a P/N 2013142-18 alternate static air source selector valve. Inspection of the part before installation is acceptable. \n(A) Adjust the pilot and copilot seats as far aft as possible. \n(B) Use a flashlight and mirror to inspect the alternate static air source selector valve to assure the port on the forward end of the valve is clearly visible and not covered by the part number identification placard. \n(2) If the alternate static air source selector valve port is found obstructed by the part number identification placard during any inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, remove the placard from the valve body, discard the placard, and assure that the port is open and unobstructed. \nBefore further flight after any inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD where the port is found obstructed. \nMake an entry in the aircraft records showing compliance with this portion of the AD following 14 CFR 43.9. \n\n\n\t(f) Report the results of the inspection required by this AD where an obstruction was found to the FAA. \n\n\t(1) Submit this report within 10 days after the inspection or 10 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. \n\n\t(2) Use the form in Figure 1 of this AD and submit it to FAA, Manufacturing Inspection District Office, Mid-Continent Airport, 1804 Airport Road, Room 101, Wichita, Kansas, 67209; or fax to (316) 946-4189. \n\n\t(3) The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the information collection requirements contained in this regulation under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and assigned OMB Control Number 2120-0056. \n\n\n\nAlternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) \n\n\t(g) The Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to: Attn: David Fairback, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Wichita ACO, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Wichita, Kansas 67209; telephone: 316-946- 4154; fax: 316-946-4107; e-mail address: david.fairback@faa.gov. Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
