AD 2025-20-18 Airworthiness Directives; Continental Aerospace Technologies GmbH Engines
Makes named: continental. Models named: TAE 125-02-125. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Continental Aerospace Technologies GmbH (Continental) Model TAE 125-02-125 engines.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
(1) For the purpose of this AD, a “serviceable part” is a cylinder head which is new (never installed), or a cylinder head which was not removed in accordance with paragraph (h)(2) of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by multiple reports of cracks in the cylinder heads, which can cause engine coolant to leak into the combustion chamber. The root cause of this damage is unknown, and the investigation is ongoing. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct contamination of the engine coolant. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an uncommanded in-flight shutdown of the engine and a forced landing, which could result in damage to the airplane and injury to occupants.
Affected ADs
None.
