Textron Jet Owners Must Hunt for Faulty Fire Extinguisher Wires
Published Date: 3/7/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
If you own a Textron Aviation Model 560 or 560XL airplane, listen up! The FAA wants you to check your engine fire extinguisher systems because some wires might be mixed up. You'll need to test, inspect, and fix any issues soon, plus update your inspection schedule to keep flying safe—no big costs, just important safety steps.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Must test and inspect extinguisher systems
If you own a Textron Aviation Model 560 or 560XL airplane, the FAA would require an engine fire extinguisher system functional test and an inspection of fire extinguisher bottle cartridge wire numbers and yellow ID sleeves for proper identification and legibility. You must perform any corrective actions found by those tests and inspections to address mis-wired fire extinguishing bottles.
Add recurring wiring inspections to program
If you own a Textron Aviation Model 560 or 560XL airplane, the FAA would require you to revise your existing inspection program to add new airworthiness limitations for repetitive inspections of the engine fire extinguisher wiring and, if applicable, the APU fire extinguisher wiring. These are recurring inspection requirements you must incorporate into your maintenance schedule.
