AD 96-23-13 61 FR 58978

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Canadair Model CL-215-1A10 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of the three DC generators to ensure that the extra unconnected bare copper wire is properly stowed. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that unconnected bare copper wire, which was fitted inside of some DC generators installed on these airplanes, could cause a short circuit. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent a fire hazard that would be posed if a short circuit were to occur at this area in the presence of a combustible fuel-air mixture.
