(d) SUBJECT
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 2841, Fuel Quantity
Indicator.
(e) UNSAFE CONDITION
This AD was prompted by reports of fuel quantity disparities between
the amount of fuel indicated and the actual amount of fuel. The FAA is
issuing this AD to ensure that the amount of fuel indicated is the
amount of fuel available. The unsafe condition, if not addressed,
could result in fuel starvation and engine shutdown with consequent
loss of airplane control.
(f) COMPLIANCE
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless
already done.
(g) ACTION
Within 100 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD
or within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever
occurs first, modify the fuel probe interface by following the
Modification Instructions in Garmin Mandatory STC Service Bulletin No.
2134, Revision A, or Garmin Mandatory STC Service Bulletin No. 2135,
Revision A, both dated April 23, 2021, whichever is applicable.
(h) ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE (AMOCS)
(1) The Manager, Wichita ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or local Flight Standards District Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of the
certification office, send it to the attention of the person
identified in Related Information.
(2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the local
flight standards district office/certificate holding district office.
