Background: The manufacturer has determined that two separate incidents of engine flame out during cruise conditions was caused by small accumulations of water freezing in the Fuel Boost Pump Bypass Valve, and preventing fuel flow to the engine while on suction feed. Amendment 3 is raised in response to a revision of the country of origin AD which required modification of those aircraft not previously modified and an inspection for bracket preload for aircraft modified prior to Revision 4 of the Service Bulletin.
