AD: Kelly Aerospace

AD NUMBER: 2008-08-17
MANUFACTURER: Turbochargers
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-08-17

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Kelly Aerospace Power Systems turbochargers. This AD requires a one time visual inspection of suspect turbochargers for an excessive gap between the turbocharger turbine housing flange and the exhaust tube flange, and replacement of turbochargers that fail the gap inspection. This AD results from two reports of exhaust leakage occurring between the turbocharger turbine housing flange and the exhaust tube flange due to machining defects of the turbocharger turbine housing flange. We are issuing this AD to prevent hazardous amounts of carbon monoxide from entering the cabin, an increase in under-cowl temperatures hampering engine and accessory function, and loss of tailpipe retention, which could lead to an in-flight fire and loss of control of the airplane.
