EASA AD CF-2020-14
Fuel - Threaded Fuel Coupling Not Properly Installed
The Airworthiness Directive CF-2020-14 issued by Transport Canada addresses improperly installed threaded fuel couplings on Airbus Canada Limited Partnership aircraft models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11. This directive mandates inspections and functional tests of the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) fuel feed line shroud to detect and correct any loose or disconnected fuel couplings. The goal is to prevent fuel starvation to the APU and reduce the risk of fire.
