Unsafe Condition

Chafing and consequent failure of the fuel crossflow tube due to inadequate clearance between the tube and the flight control cables, which could result in loss of fuel from one fuel tank during normal operating conditions or loss of fuel from both main fuel tanks during fuel cross-feeding operations.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Inspect the fuel crossflow tube to determine whether part number (P/N) 6026020-005 is installed. If P/N 6026020-005 is found installed, measure the clearance between the fuel crossflow tube and the flight control cables to ensure it is at least 0.35 inch. If the clearance is less than 0.35 inch, repair the tube per a method approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA. If P/N 6026020-005 is not found installed, replace the existing fuel crossflow tube with a new one having P/N 6026020-005, and measure the clearance between the newly installed tube and the flight control cables. If the clearance is less than 0.35 inch, repair the tube as required.
