Unsafe Condition
Loss of electrical power to the copilot's flight and navigation instruments (attitude, turn and bank, and gyroscopic direction indicators) due to a single ground fault in the D.C. power system.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Modify the emergency electrical power system to derive power from the right engine driven emergency alternator by loading it to unity power factor. Use FAA-approved Service Bulletins FH-227 24-1 or 24-2, or later revisions, and obtain approval from the FAA Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, Eastern Region.

ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: REGULATORY TEXT: 67-29-02 FAIRCHILD-HILLER: Amdt. 39-498 Part 39 Federal Register October 25, 1967. Applies to Type F-27 and FH-227 Airplanes. Unless already accomplished, compliance is required with the next 200 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD. To compensate for the loss of electrical power to the copilots' flight and navigation instruments (attitude, turn and bank, and gyroscopic direction indicators), in the event of a single ground fault in the D.C. power system, accomplish the following: (a) In aircraft where the emergency electrical power to operate the copilot attitude indicator, turn and bank indicator, and gyroscopic direction indicator is derived from the D.C. power system, modify the emergency electrical power system for these instruments in a manner such that the emergency electrical power is derived from the right engine driven emergency alternator. Accomplish this by loading the emergency alternator (increasing the power factor to unity) to allow it to adequately power the three (3) instrument systems. The modifications must be approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Eastern Region. (b) Modifications accomplished in accordance with Fairchild-Hiller FH-227 Service Bulletin 24-1, dated April 25, 1967, or Fairchild-Hiller FH-227 Service Bulletin 24-2, dated May 22, 1967, for the serial number applicable in the Bulletins, or later FAA-approved revisions, are acceptable for showing compliance with this Airworthiness Directive. (c) Upon request, with substantiating data submitted through an FAA maintenance inspector, compliance time may be increased by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Eastern Region. This amendment effective October 27, 1967. FOOTER:
