Unsafe Condition

Turning type takeoffs and takeoffs immediately following fast taxi turns can cause fuel flow interruptions due to gravity or centrifugal force when fuel tanks are less than half full, leading to engine failure.

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

Required Actions

Prohibit turning type takeoffs and takeoffs immediately following fast taxi turns; avoid prolonged slips (20 seconds or more) with fuel tanks less than half full. Install a placard on the instrument panel with specified wording. Obliterate or remove specific existing placards. Revise Airplane Flight Manuals by replacing the caution paragraph with the new placard wording. Exemptions apply for airplanes with specific fuel cell modifications.
