AD: Austro Engines

AD Number: 2011-18-19

MANUFACTURER: Austro Engine GmbH Model E4 Diesel Piston Engines
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2011-18-19
ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. That AD currently requires frequent inspections of the fuel pressure supply for excessive oscillations to determine if high-pressure (HP) fuel pumps have been exposed to damaging pressure oscillations. Pumps that have been exposed require replacement before further flight. This new AD requires the initial and repetitive inspections of AD 2010-23-09, but also requires installing HP fuel pump part number (P/N) E4A-30-200-000, as mandatory terminating action to the repetitive inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent engine power loss or in-flight shutdown, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective October 6, 2011
