Regulatory Text

54-01-03 SIKORSKY: Applies to All Model S-55 Helicopters.

Compliance required prior to next flight.

Finger fuel strainer installed on all tanks should be removed and inspected to determine whether it incorporates a small disc screen located inside the body of the strainer. This disc screen should be removed if found to be incorporated, since it would tend to restrict fuel flow if it became clogged with foreign material.

(Sikorsky Service Information Circular No. 1430-410, dated November 9, 1953, covers the same inspection modification.)
