ED Decision 2003/18/RM

(a)                            Oil lines must comply with CS-VLA 993.

(1)                            Condensed water vapour or oil that might freeze and obstruct the line cannot accumulate at any point;

(2)                            The breather discharge will not constitute a fire hazard if foaming occurs or cause emitted oil to strike the pilot’s wind shields;

(3)                            The breather does not discharge into the engine air induction system;

(4)                            The breather outlet is protected against blockage by ice or foreign matter.
