Applies to all Aerosonic Fuel Flow Transducers, Part Numbers 33184-1 and 32622-6, installed on, but not limited to, Cessna Models 335, 340A, 402B, 404, 414A, and 421C; Mooney Aircraft Corporation Models M20J and M20K; and Piper Aircraft Aerostar Models 600, 601, and 601P airplanes certificated in all categories.

(a) Inspect for installation of Aerosonic Fuel Flow Transducers Part Numbers 33184-1 or 32622-6 (name plate has part number identification). If the Transducers(s) is identified with the word "FLO-SCAN" on the bottom, or is identified with an Aerosonic part number other than 33184-1 or 32622-6, or any other manufacturer's part number the unit(s) is acceptable.

(b) Remove Aerosonic Fuel Flow Transducers, Part Numbers 33184-1 and 32622-6 (except "FLO-SCAN) identified in paragraph (a) and reinstall Aerosonic replacement units identified with "FLO-SCAN", Serial Numbers 5000 and up.

(c) Accomplish the following in accordance with Aerosonic Service Bulletin No. 1 dated June 30, 1980, or Service Bulletin No. 2 dated June 26, 1980, as applicable:

(1) Torque fittings to 25-30 ft. lbs.

An equivalent method of compliance may be approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, Federal Aviation Administration, Southern Region.

This amendment becomes effective August 13, 1980.
