Formalize the airworthiness directive process so that, when an aircraft manufacturer or other source identifies an airworthiness issue with an appliance, coordination with the appliance manufacturer occurs to ensure that the possible safety risks to all products using the appliance are evaluated and addressed. (Closed - Acceptable Action) |
Issued: 08-JUL-2009 | To: FAA | A-09-46 |
Require airplane manufacturers and modifiers to provide positive separation between electrical wiring and oxygen system tubing according to, at a minimum, the guidance in Advisory Circular (AC) 43.13-1A, Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices Aircraft Inspection and Repair, and AC 65-15, Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics Airframe Handbook. (Open - Acceptable Response) |
Issued: 08-JUL-2009 | To: FAA | A-09-47 |
Require airplane manufacturers and operators to ensure that oxygen system tubing in proximity to electrical wiring is made of, sleeved with, or coated with nonconductive material or that the tubing is otherwise physically isolated from potential electrical sources. (Open - Acceptable Response) |
Issued: 08-JUL-2009 | To: FAA | A-09-48 |
Develop minimum electrical grounding requirements for oxygen system components and include these requirements as part of the certification process for new airplanes and approved supplemental type certificate modifications to existing airplanes. (Open - Unacceptable Response) |
Issued: 08-JUL-2009 | To: FAA | A-09-49 |
Once electrical grounding requirements for oxygen system components are developed, as requested in Safety Recommendation A-09-48, require airplane operators and modifiers to inspect their airplanes for compliance with these criteria and modify those airplanes not in compliance accordingly. (Open - Unacceptable Response) |
Issued: 08-JUL-2009 | To: FAA | A-09-50 |
Develop inspection criteria or service life limits for flexible oxygen hoses to ensure that they meet current certification and design standards. (Open - Unacceptable Response) |
Issued: 08-JUL-2009 | To: FAA | A-09-51 |
Once inspection criteria or service life limits for flexible oxygen hoses have been developed, as requested in Safety Recommendation A-09-50, require airplane operators to replace those hoses that do not meet the inspection criteria or that exceed the service life limits.
