AD: Thielert Reciprocating Engines

AD NUMBER: 2011-23-01

MANUFACTURER: Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE) Reciprocating Engines
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2011-23-01
ACTION: Final rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE) Models TAE 125-01 and TAE 125-02-99 reciprocating engines. That AD currently requires replacement of certain part numbers (P/Ns) and serial numbers (S/Ns) of clutch assemblies due to clutch failure. The failures identified above could lead to engine in-flight shutdown and loss of control of the airplane. This AD requires the same actions, but applies the corrective action to an additional 244 affected clutch assemblies. This AD was prompted by TAE identifying additional clutch assemblies with nonconforming disc springs. The FAA is issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 22, 2011
