Compliance: Required within the next 3 calendar months after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished.

To prevent malfunctioning of the lanyard release pin that could prevent the flow of oxygen to a passenger in an emergency situation, accomplish the following:

(a) With the oxygen system activated, perform a test of the lanyard release pins by accomplishing the following:

(1) Open the passenger mask presentation units of the airplane and allow the mask assemblies to drop out.

(2) Make up a 7.5 pound weight with an attached string and hook, (e.g., spring, clip, etc.).

(3) Attach the hook to the lanyard attaching point of each actuator pin without dropping the weight and allow the weight to hang from the lanyard attaching point.

(b) If the pin pulls free from the oxygen actuator valve at 7.5 pounds or less of hanging weight, then the pin is satisfactory and the unit may be returned to service.

(c) If the pin does not pull free from the oxygen actuator valve using the test required by paragraph (a) of this AD, prior to further flight accomplish the following:

(1) Replace the pin with either part number 100-111-2 or 100-111-3, which has a 20-degree angle and a rounded nose.

NOTE 1: The pin is available from the manufacturer by contacting Mr. Burt Parry, O2 Corporation, 3522 N. Comotara, Wichita, Kansas 67226; Telephone (316) 634-1240; Facsimile (316) 634-1061.

(2) Test the replacement pin installation in accordance with the test requirements of paragraph (a) of this AD to assure that the lanyard pin can be removed with a pull of 7.5 pounds or less. If the pin pulls free from the oxygen actuator valve at 7.5 pounds or less of hanging weight, then the pin is satisfactory and the unit may be returned to service.

(d) An alternate method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an equivalent level of safety may be approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Mid-Continent Airport, Wichita, Kansas; Telephone (316) 946-4419. The request should be forwarded through an appropriate FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office.

(e) All persons affected by this directive may obtain copies of any information that is applicable to this AD from the FAA, Central Region, Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, Attention: Rules Docket No. 90-CE-43-AD, Room 1558, 601 E. 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. Replacement parts that might be needed to complete the actions of this AD may be obtained from Mr. Burt Parry, O2 Corporation, 3522 N. Comotara, Wichita, Kansas 67226; Telephone (316) 634-1240; Facsimile (316) 634-1061.
