Agency Calls For Replacing Shafts In Some 360 and 540
Models
The FAA has issued an airworthiness directive calling for
crankshaft replacement in certain 360 and 540 engines built or with
crankshafts replaced after March 1, 1999. As AOPA first told you in
July, this AD affects some 1,100 aircraft, in models ranging from
Aero Commanders and Aerostars to Socata Trinidads. Many of the
affected aircraft are Robinson helicopters and late-model Cessna
182s.
