AD 95-17-09 60 FR 43360

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 series airplanes that utilize a direct current (DC) generator. This action requires relocating the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) essential bus current limiters (225 amp) to the battery bus (main bus tie). A safety recommendation received by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that details potential electrical failure problems on Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 series airplanes prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the LH and RH essential bus when engine failure results in a blown generator current limiter, which could result in loss of airplane electrical power.
