Unsafe Condition
Failure or improper functioning of the wing flap, landing gear anti-skid, and turbine vibration indication systems due to potential chafing damage of wiring harnesses caused by the earth stud's position relative to the airplane's center line.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Within 30 days after the effective date, perform a visual inspection of the earth stud's position. If the stud is approximately 33.0 inches from the center line, inspect adjacent wiring harnesses for chafing, reclip harnesses for clearance, and repair or replace damaged wires. If the stud is not positioned correctly, inspect and repair wiring, replace the earth stud with the same part number, and resecure harnesses to prevent contact.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless previously accomplished. To prevent failure or improper functioning of the wing flap, landing gear anti-skid, and turbine vibration indication systems, accomplish the following: A. Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, perform a visual inspection of the earth stud on the avionics rack at Frame 17, in accordance with British Aerospace Service Bulletin 24-60, dated May 31, 1990. 1. If the earth stud is approximately 33.0 inches from the airplane's center line, prior to further flight, perform a visual inspection of the adjacent wiring harnesses for chafing damage, and reclip any harnesses to ensure adequate clearance between the wire harnesses and the earth stud, in accordance with the service bulletin. Repair or replace any damaged wires prior to further flight. 2. If the earth stud is not positioned approximately 33.0 inches from the airplane's center line, prior to further flight, accomplish the following: a. Perform an inspection of the adjacent wiring harnesses for signs of chafing damage, and, if damage is found, repair or replace any damaged wires prior to further flight in accordance with the service bulletin. b. Remove the existing earth stud and install a new earth stud having the same part number in accordance with Figure 1 of the service bulletin. c. Move and resecure any wiring harnesses that may contact the earth stud, in accordance with the service bulletin. B. An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate.
