Unsafe Condition

The existing 200 ampere fuse in the APU starter motor circuit may fail due to overload, and airplanes without BAC 1-11 Modification PM2518 may have inadequate APU starting system protection.

Required Actions

Replace the 200 ampere fuse with a 150 ampere fuse per Service Bulletin 49-PM4480. For airplanes without PM2518, install a second power relay per SB 49-PM2429 Rev 4 and a separate APU start control per SB 49-PM2891 Rev 5. Airplanes with PM2518 must complete these modifications within 1500 hours' time in service.
