Applies to Models S-40A, S- 50A, S-55A, S-60A, S-66A, S-77A, RX-6, RX-7 and W100LB (all serial numbers) Hot Air Balloons certificated in any category. Compliance: Required prior to further flight, unless already accomplished. To preclude propane fuel leakage which could result in an uncontained fire in the balloon basket, accomplish the following: (a) Visually check all of the fuel supply hose assemblies in the balloon to determine if any are identified by the part number code "FC321-06" followed by the date of manufacture code "3Q84" or "4Q84." (b) Prior to further use, remove all hose assemblies with markings as specified in paragraph (a) of this AD, or which contain "FC321-06" part number code but no date of manufacturer code and replace with assemblies of the same part number and a date of manufacture code other than "3Q84" or "4Q84." Make the appropriate entry in the aircraft maintenance records before returning the balloon to service. (c) If the balloon does not contain any hose assemblies meeting the marking criteria specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this AD, return the balloon to service after the appropriate entry is made in the aircraft maintenance records. NOTE: For further guidance with regard to the hose check and possible replacement required by this AD, refer to Aerostar Service Bulletin No. 120, undated. (d) An alternate method of compliance which provides an equivalent level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Chicago Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018. All persons affected by this directive may obtain copies of the documents referred to herein upon request to Aerostar International, Inc., 1812 "E" Avenue, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57104, or Office of the Regional Counsel, Room 1558, FAA, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. This amendment becomes effective on July10, 1986, to all persons except those to whom it was made immediately effective by priority letter AD issued May 21, 1986, and is identified as AD 86-10-11. ## Affected data sheets (1) (OpenAirDocs) The type certificate data sheets whose models the AD names. - [TCDS A15CE](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/A15CE): Balloonacy LLC; names 9 of 49 models: S-77A, W100LB, RX-6, S-55A, S-60A, S-40A, S-50A, RX-7… ## Registered aircraft it may apply to (OpenAirDocs) Matched by airframe and engine model; the AD's applicability may narrow it by serial number, part number or equipment. - Aircraft: 374 (374 by airframe model, 0 by engine model) - Makers: Aerostar International 221, Raven 106, Raven Industries 47 Models with the most aircraft: - [Aerostar International RX-7](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-rx-7): 96 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International S-60A](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-s-60a): 77 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven S55A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-s55a): 57 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven S-60A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-s-60a): 32 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven Industries RALLY RX7](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-industries-rally-rx7): 27 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International S-55A](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-s-55a): 13 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven S-50A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-s-50a): 12 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven Industries RX6](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-industries-rx6): 10 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International RAVEN S-55A](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-raven-s-55a): 10 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International S-66A](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-s-66a): 10 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International S-77A](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-s-77a): 7 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven Industries S-66A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-industries-s-66a): 6 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven S-40A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-s-40a): 5 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International S-50A](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-s-50a): 4 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International RAVEN S-66A](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-raven-s-66a): 3 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven Industries S-60A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-industries-s-60a): 2 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven Industries S-55A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-industries-s-55a): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Raven Industries S77A](https://openairdocs.org/model/raven-industries-s77a): 1 aircraft (airframe model) - [Aerostar International RX-6](https://openairdocs.org/model/aerostar-international-rx-6): 1 aircraft (airframe model) All 19 models: https://openairdocs.org/ad/86-10-11-R1/models.md Every aircraft: https://openairdocs.org/ad/86-10-11-R1/aircraft.md Its text cites no advisory circulars or STCs. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/).
