ATA 27-10-00, Aileron control rod installation

Regarding the installation of the push pull tubes for the aileron. The IPC 27-10-00, Fig 4 Pg 1, Detail B (WS 76.37) references the installation of Part No. 513512-1 rod assembly and 513505-501 rod assembly. This shows the following parts installed: AN960-416 washer, MS17826-4 nut, NAS75-4-009 bushing and the NAS464P4-16 / NAS6204-16D Bolt. When the installation is completed following the diagrams in the IPC, there will be stresses placed on the ears of the fitting that may cause failure of this attachment. We have concluded that the addition of an AN960-416 washer on the inside of the fitting between the rod bearing and the ear of the fitting will alleviate this problem (ref AMM 27-00-00 page 202)

71-00-00, AD2005-05-15

As you all know this AD is coming to a head with the amount of aircraft engines that have not complied with it. This is applicable for the TFE731-3, -3A, -3AR, -3R, -3B and the -3BR engines. Engines that are using the LPT1 disc part numbers 3072070-all, 3072351-all, 3073013-all, 3073113-all, 3073497-all and the 3074103-all are to be replaced by December 31, 2011. Honeywell has noted that there has not been the compliance to this as forcasted hence there will be alot of engines looking for discs at the end of this year, or looking to swap for engines that have complied with this AD. Shop availability will also be an issue.
Speaking with Honeywell they stated that originally the AD did not have a due date and that the FAA had added the date for compliance reasons. If you have not had your engines updated please contact your local Honeywell Authorized engine shop so that an order is placed with Honeywell to generate a procurement hit. currently there is a 90 day lead for manufacturing and all that are in the current production run are allocated to customers.
