AD 2022-07-14 87 FR 20701

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Viking Air Limited (type certificate previously held by Bombardier Inc. and de Havilland, Inc.) Model DHC-6-400 airplanes. This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as corrosion of the fuel system components located in the fuel gallery due to inadequate corrosion protection. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the fuel gallery for corrosion, rectifying any deficiencies, and accomplishing modifications to the fuel gallery system. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
