Summary
This document proposes to supersede AD 95-03-02, which currently requires repetitively inspecting (visually) the air filter frame for a loose or deteriorating gasket on airplanes incorporating certain Brackett air filter assemblies. The proposed action retains the repetitive inspection and possible replacement requirements as contained in AD 95-03-02, and would incorporate additional Brackett air filter assemblies to the applicability of that AD. Additionally, it would provide a terminating action for the repetitive inspection. The Federal Aviation Administration's determination that these additional Brackett air filter assemblies should be inspected and replaced prompted this AD action. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent gasket particles from entering the carburetor because of air filter gasket failure, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in partial or complete loss of engine power and loss of control of the airplane.
