Model	Serial Numbers
*23 (equipped with jet pumps)	23-003 thru 23-099

*NOTE: Model 23 airplanes were not equipped with jet pumps when manufactured. Model 23 airplanes which have been retrofitted with jet pumps in the field will be so identified on the title page of the Airplane Flight Manual.

COMPLIANCE: Required as indicated unless already accomplished.

To reduce the possibility of fuel contamination and/or the presence of ignition sources in the tailcone service area, accomplish the following:

A) Within the next 25 hours time-in-service after May 8, 1980:

1. Run each engine to takeoff thrust momentarily, shut down and immediately open the access cover under the tailcone service area and make the following visual inspections:

a. Inspect the fuel and hydraulic system components for deterioration or damage, leakage and stains indicating leakage, paying particular attention to the exterior of the P/N AV16E1182 motive flow shutoff valves.

b. Inspect the batteries and electrical equipment for deterioration or damage and conditions which may cause arcing.

c. Inspect all vents and drains for obstruction or blockage.

d. Before further flight, correct any of the above-noted unsatisfactory conditions. Do not disassemble or reassemble motive flow shutoff valves in the field. Replace leaking valves with a new or factory rebuilt part.

2. Remove the Temporary Airplane Flight Manual Supplement, included in AD 80-09-06 as Figure 1, in the existing Airplane Flight Manual and in place thereof, install Temporary Airplane Flight Manual Supplement, included in this AD as Figure 1A, and comply with its instructions.

B) On or before February 13, 1981, install Gates Learjet motive flow valve shrouds and drain lines per Modification Kit No. AMK 80-7. After accomplishing this modification, remove the Temporary Airplane Flight Manual Supplement required by Paragraph A)2.

C) Airplanes may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 to a location where the provisions of this AD can be accomplished.

D) Any equivalent method of compliance with this AD must be approved by the Chief, Aircraft Certification Program Office, Room 238, Terminal Building 2299, Mid-Continent Airport, Wichita, Kansas 67209; Telephone (316) 942-4285.

This AD supersedes AD 80-09-06, Amendment 39-3764.
