DCA/750XL/20 Fuel Tank Caps - Inspection


Applicability: Model 750XL aircraft, all S/N up to and including 216 fitted with fuel tank caps P/N
457-1015-12.
Requirement: To prevent possible fuel loss from the aircraft fuel tanks due to a non-conforming fuel
tank cap, accomplish the following:
1. Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) Amendment:
Revise the Pacific Aerospace 750XL Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AIR 2825 and AIR
3237) and introduce CAA Limitation Section, (1 page) dated 8 December 2017.
Compliance with the Limitations Section in the AFM is mandatory.
Note 1: A copy of CAA Operating Limitations (1 page), dated 8 December 2017 can be
obtained from the CAA web site at http://www.caa.govt.nz/airworthiness-
directives/airworthiness-directives-aeroplane/
2. Fuel Tank Cap Inspection:
Inspect the fuel tank caps P/N 457-1015-12 (4 positons) per the instructions in Pacific
Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) PACSB/XL/089 issue 01, dated 8
December 2017, or later approved revision.
If a fuel cap does not release from the fuel tank as it is unlocked, or if the fuel cap
locking lugs do not conform to the requirements in MSB PACSB/XL/089, then replace
the defective cap with a P/N 11-21087-1 fuel cap, before further flight. Remove the
CAA Limitation Section, (1 page) dated 8 December 2017 from the POH.
Note 2: Long range aircraft delivery ferry flights and oceanic flights are prohibited unless
requirement 2 of this AD has been accomplished.
Note 3: Accomplishing requirement 2 of this AD is a terminating action for the repetitive
inspections mandated by requirement 1.
Note 4: On the 750XL aircraft, the fuel system design is such that the front tanks are
continuously topped up by motive-flow transfer from the rear tanks, until the latter are
empty. If a front fuel tank cap is not correctly closed, locked and sealed, then fuel
could leak past the fuel cap until all fuel other than the front tank contents is
consumed. The fuel tank caps are thus critical items to be checked before every
flight.
Compliance: 1. POH Amendment: From the effective date of this AD.
2. Fuel Tank Cap Inspection: By 31 January 2018.
Effective Date: 15 December 2017
