AD 2011-06-06 Airworthiness Directives; Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. Airplanes Equipped With Pratt & Whitney Canada, Corp. PW610F-A Engines
Models named: EA500, PW610F-A. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. Model EA500 airplanes, all serial numbers, that are: (1) Equipped with Pratt & Whitney Canada, Corp. Model PW610F-A engines, all serial numbers up to and including serial number PCE-LA0583; and (2) Certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
(1) Before further flight after March 21, 2011 (the effective date retained from AD 2011-06-06), incorporate the following language into Section 2, Limitations, of your airplane flight manual (AFM): “Per AD 2011-06-06, LIMIT THE MAXIMUM OPERATING ALTITUDE TO 30,000 FEET (9144M) PRESSURE ALTITUDE.” (2) A person holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may insert the operating limitations into Section 2, Limitations, of the AFM. Make an entry into the aircraft logbook showing compliance with this portion of the AD in accordance with section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9). (3) You may incorporate paragraph (g) of this AD into Section 2, Limitations, of your AFM to comply with this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by several incidents of engine surge. We are issuing this AD to prevent hard carbon buildup on the static vane, which could result in engine surges. Engine surges may result in a necessary reduction in thrust and decreased power for the affected engine. In some cases, this could result in flight and landing under single-engine conditions. It is also possible this could affect both engines at the same time, requiring dual-engine shutdown.
Affected ADs
This AD revises AD 2011-06-06, Amendment 39-16631 (76 FR 13078, March 10, 2011).

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
