2018-09-16: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-15-13, which applied to certain Airbus Model A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321- 111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2015- 15-13 required a modification of the potable water service panel and waste water service panel, including doing applicable related investigative and corrective actions. This AD requires a modification of the waste water and potable water service panels with new compliance times. This AD also removes certain airplanes from the applicability and adds Model A320-216 airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the potable water and waste water service panel areas are subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
52-04-07: 52-04-07 MARTIN: Applies to All Models 202 and 202A Aircraft Except as Noted. Compliance required not later than July 1, 1952. The following controls and their wiring are common to two wing anti-icing heaters. The controls listed are identical in each nacelle. Modify the system so each of the controls serves only one heater: 1. Emergency high heat 400 degrees cutout switch. 2. Firewall shutoff switch. 3. Fuel pump circuit breaker (supplies power to ignition controls and master fuel controls). 4. Fuel shutoff relay. 5. Wiring to the master and auxiliary solenoid valves. 6. Fuel booster pump relay (has dual power input but single ground on the control circuit). 7. Ignition relay (202 only). 8. Ignition transformer (202 only). 9. Ignition circuit breaker (202 only). 10. AC safety relay (202 only). (Trans World Airlines Engineering Order 5838 covers this same subject for the 202A).
