Resumo da Diretiva
A FAA está revogando a Diretiva de Aeronavegabilidade (DA) 2022-04-09, que se aplicava a certos conjuntos de cilindro e válvula de oxigênio, bem como conjuntos de válvula de oxigênio da AVOX Systems Inc. (antigo Scott Aviation), instalados em, mas não limitados a, vários aviões de transporte. A DA 2022-04-09 exigia uma inspeção dos conjuntos de válvula de oxigênio e dos conjuntos de cilindro e válvula de oxigênio para determinar o número de série; para certos conjuntos e peças, uma inspeção detalhada da folga entre a parte inferior do retentor de vedação e o topo do corpo da válvula nos conjuntos; e substituição de conjuntos com folgas inaceitáveis. Esta DA foi motivada pela determinação de que conjuntos e peças adicionais são afetados pela condição insegura. Esta DA exige uma inspeção dos conjuntos de válvula de oxigênio e dos conjuntos de cilindro e válvula de oxigênio para determinar o número de série da válvula, cilindro e conjunto completo; para certos conjuntos e peças, uma inspeção detalhada da correta medida da folga entre a parte inferior do retentor de vedação e o topo do corpo da válvula nos conjuntos e substituição de conjuntos com folgas inaceitáveis. Esta DA também limita a instalação de peças afetadas sob certas condições e exige o relato dos resultados das inspeções e a devolução de certos conjuntos ao fabricante. A FAA está expedindo esta DA para resolver a condição insegura nesses produtos.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-04- 09, which applied to certain AVOX Systems Inc. (formerly Scott Aviation) oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies; and oxygen valve assemblies; installed on but not limited to various transport airplanes. AD 2022-04-09 required an inspection of the oxygen valve assemblies, and oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, to determine the serial number; for certain assemblies and parts, a detailed inspection of the gap between the bottom of the packing retainer and top of the valve body on the assemblies; and replacement of assemblies having unacceptable gaps. This AD was prompted by a determination that additional assemblies and parts are affected by the unsafe condition. This AD requires an inspection of the oxygen valve assemblies, and oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, to determine the serial number of the valve, cylinder, and entire assembly; for certain assemblies and parts, a detailed inspection for correct spacing of the gap between the bottom of the packing retainer and top of the valve body on the assemblies and replacement of assemblies having unacceptable gaps. This AD also limits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions and reporting inspection results and returning certain assemblies to the manufacturer. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.Texto Completo da Diretiva
