These engine models are accounted for in the Maintenance and Overhaul Manualwith an Airworthiness Limitations Section. As Lycoming has more engine models certified they will add them to this list of engines with a Maintenance and Overhaul Manual. To determine if your engine has a Maintenance and Overhaul Manual you can either contact Lycoming, or you can refer to Lycoming's list of maintenance publications for engines that have a Maintenance and Overhaul Manual. (d) Unsafe Condition This AD was prompted by revised service information that added engine models to the applicability. This service information adds engine models requiring inspection and technical updates. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the fuel injector fuel lines, which could lead to uncontrolled engine fire, engine damage, and damage to the airplane. (e) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (1) Initial Inspections (i) Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD, inspect thefuel injector fuel lines and clamps between the fuel manifold and the fuel injector nozzles. Use Lycoming Engines Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 342G, dated July 16, 2013; Supplement No. 1 to MSB No. 342G, dated August 29, 2013; and Supplement No. 2 to MSB No. 342G, dated January 23, 2014 to perform the inspection. Replace any fuel injector fuel line or clamp that fails the inspection required by the Fuel Line Inspection and Installation Checklist in MSB No. 342G. (ii) Thereafter, re-inspect after any maintenance is done on the engine where any clamp on a fuel injector fuel line was disconnected, moved, or loosened, and within every 110 hours TIS and after each engine overhaul. Use Lycoming Engines MSB No. 342G, dated July 16, 2013; Supplement No. 1 to MSB No. 342G, dated August 29, 2013; and Supplement No. 2 to MSB No. 342G, dated January 23, 2014 to perform the inspection and the Fuel Line Inspection and Installation Checklist in MSB No. 342G to perform the re-inspection.(f) Credit for Previous Actions If you inspected your fuel injector fuel lines and clamps using Lycoming Engines MSB No. 342F, dated June 4, 2010, or earlier versions, you met the initial inspection requirements of this AD. However, you must still comply with the repetitive inspection requirements of paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of this AD. [[Page 58342]] (g) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) The Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, may approve AMOCs to this AD. Use the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make your request. AMOCs previously approved for AD 2008-14-07, Amendment 39-15602 (73 FR 39574, July 10, 2008) (``AD 2008-14-07'') and AD 2011-26-04, Amendment 39-16894 (76 FR 79051, December 21, 2011) (``AD 2011-26-04'') are approved as AMOCs to the corresponding requirements in paragraph (e) of this AD.
