Unsafe Condition
Nonshielded and noncolor coded white or brown (tan) engine electrical wiring with loose weave or specific insulation (MS 25471-XX) may have tight loops, kinks, or bulged deformations, leading to potential electrical failure.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Within 25 hours' time in service from the effective date, visually inspect engine wiring at connectors P4001 and P4020. Depending on wire color and weave, further inspections or replacements may be required. After each subsequent 25 hours, inspect affected wires for deformations and replace harnesses if issues are found. Before 300 hours' time in service, replace all loose weave brown or white MS 25471-XX wires with M 22759/8-XX wire using specified service bulletin or approved method.

ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: REGULATORY TEXT: 81-25-04 R1 MITSUBISHI AIRCRAFT INTERNATIONAL, INC. (MAI): Amendment 39- 4274 as amended by amendment 39-4300. Applies to MAI Models MU-2B-25/-26/-26A/-40, serial numbers 313SA, 321SA, 348SA through 453SA, Models MU-2B-35/-36A/-60, serial numbers 652SA, 661SA, 697SA through 799SA, 1501SA through 1538SA, and 1540SA. Compliance is required as indicated unless previously accomplished. Within the next 25 hours' time in service from the effective date of this AD: 1. Visually inspect the engine's electrical wiring to determine if nonshielded and noncolor coded wiring is white or brown (tan). Inspection may be made at connectors P4001 and P4020. Remove spiral wrap as required for inspection. 2. If wires are brown (tan) inspect in accordance with Figure 1 (one) to determine if wires are "tight weave" or "loose weave." a. If brown (tan) wires are "loose weave," inspect in accordance with paragraph 4. b. If brown (tan) wires are "tight weave," no further inspection is necessary and the airplane may be returned to service. 3. If wires are white, open the harness as necessary and inspect wires for identification: a. If white wires are marked MS 25471-XX (XX indicates wire gauge), inspect in accordance with paragraph 4. b. If white wires are marked M 22759/5-XX, no further inspection is necessary and the airplane may be returned to service. 4. After each 25 hours' time in service, remove wiring harness which incorporates wires affected by paragraph 2a or 3a from the engines and visually inspect all brown (tan) "loose weave" or white insulated MS 25471-XX wires for tight loop, kinks, or bulged deformation. If these conditions are found, replace the wiring harness using one of the procedures in paragraph 5 before further flight. Inspections may be discontinued when wires are replaced using one of the procedures in paragraph 5. 5. Before 300 hours' time in service, after the effective date of this AD, replace all brown (tan) "loose weave" or white insulated MS 25471-XX wires with M 22759/8-XX wire using one of the procedures specified in Part 3 of MAI S/B SB036/71-003, Revision A, or alternate means approved by the Chief, Aircraft Certification Division, Southwest Region, Federal Aviation Administration. A special flight permit may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 to allow flight of the airplane to a location where this AD can be accomplished. Amendment 39-4274 became effective December 10, 1981. This amendment 39-4300 becomes effective January 21, 1982. AD 81-25-04 FOOTER:
