The FAA is asked to require Cessna Aircraft Company to evaluate whether the current pneumatic inspection procedure for Cessna 402C and other applicable Cessna 400 series fuel inlet valves is adequate to detect all wear conditions. Additionally, the FAA should re-establish, as necessary, the intervals for operational checks and inspections to ensure detection of worn valves.
