2012-07-04: Electrical Power

Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. Sec. 39.13 [Amended] 0 2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): 2012-07-04 Cessna Aircraft Company: Amendment 39-17010; Docket No. FAA-2011-0913; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-031-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective May 15, 2012. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to Cessna Aircraft Company Model 680 airplanes; certificated in any category; serial numbers -0001 through -0289 inclusive, and -0291 through -0296 inclusive. (d) Subject Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24: Electrical power. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by a false cross-feed command to the right- hand fuel control card, due to the cross-feed inputs on the left- and right-hand fuel control cards being connected together and causing an imbalance of fuel between the left and right wing tanks. We are issuing this AD to prevent lateral imbalance of the airplane, resulting from uncontrolled fuel cross-feed, which can be corrected by deflecting the aileron trim; deflecting the aileron trim increases the pilot's workload and could exceed the airplane's limitation in a short period of time, resulting in reduced controllability of the airplane. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Installation Within 400 flight hours or 12 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first: Install a kit, part number (P/N) SB680-24-11, to the left and right motive flow relays, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Cessna Service Bulletin SB680-24-11, Revision 1, [[Page 21422]] dated November 15, 2011. The kit (P/N SB680-24-11) contains 2 sleeves, 4 splices, 2 diodes (P/N 1N4006), and instructions. (h) Revise Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Before further flight after accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD, do the applicable actions specified in paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this AD.
