Note 1 to paragraph (c): These propellers are known to be installed on, but not limited to, De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (Type Certificate previously held by Bombardier Inc.)

Required actions

(1) Within 30 months after the effective date of this AD, remove from service an auxiliary motor and pump having part number (P/N) 782655-3 (Aerocontrolex P/N 4122-006009) and replace with an auxiliary motor and pump having P/N 782655-4 (Aerocontrolex P/N 4122-056000) in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs 3.B., 3.C., and 3.E. of Hamilton Sundstrand Service Bulletin (SB) 14SF-61-168, Revision 1, dated December 21, 2016 (Hamilton Sundstrand SB 14SF-61-168, Revision 1). (2) After replacement of the auxiliary motor and pump, perform a post-installation system test in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 3.F. of Hamilton Sundstrand SB 14SF-61-168, Revision 1.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of an auxiliary motor and pump failing to feather a propeller in flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the failure of a certain auxiliary motor and pump to feather propellers. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in reduced controllability of the aircraft and consequent loss of control of the aircraft.

Affected ADs

None.
