AD 2020-22-14 Airworthiness Directives; Austro Engine GmbH Engines
Makes named: austro. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to all Austro Engine GmbH model E4 and E4P diesel piston engines.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
(1) Within the compliance times identified in Table 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 250 flight hours (FHs), replace the waste gate controller and control rod circlip in accordance with the Accomplishment/Instructions, Paragraph 2.1, Initial Action or Repetitive Action, of Austro Engine Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. MSB-E4-022/5, Rev. No. 5, dated December 12, 2018. ER05NO20.009 (2) Within 200 FH or six months, whichever occurs first after the effective date of this AD, modify the engine by installing a waste gate control rod fail-safe bridge and a new spring-loaded circlip in accordance with the Accomplishment/Instructions, Paragraph 2.1, Terminating Action, of Austro Engine GmbH MSB No. MSB-E4-022/5, Rev. No. 5, dated December 12, 2018.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of broken or disconnected turbocharger waste gate control rods on some engines. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the turbocharger waste gate control rod. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of engine thrust control and reduced control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2018-07-16, Amendment 39-19247 (83 FR 15733, April 12, 2018).
