AD: Honeywell International Inc. Turboprop Engines

AD NUMBER: 2016-21-07

PRODUCT: All Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) TPE331-1, -2, -2UA, -3U, -3UW, -5, -5A, -5AB, -5B, -6, -6A, -10, - 10AV, -10GP, -10GT, -10P, -10R, -10T, -10U, -10UA, -10UF, -10UG, -10UGR, -10UR, -11U, - 12JR, -12UA, -12UAR, and -12UHR turboprop engines with certain Woodward fuel control unit (FCU) assemblies, installed.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2015-12-04 for the engines listed above.

AD 2015-12-04 required initial and repetitive dimensional inspections of the affected fuel control drives and insertion of certain airplane operating procedures into the applicable flight manuals.

This AD corrects the compliance requirements and relaxes the inspection interval. This AD was prompted by a request to change compliance time from 50 hours to 100 hours for affected fuel controls.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the fuel control drive, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective November 28, 2016.

FMI: AD
