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.

ATA 05
Horizontal Stabilizer:
AD 89-12-08 horiz. stab hinge inspection is a requirement of EACH 200 hour airframe inspection if you do not have the titanium fitting even though the AD has a 300 hour requirement. AD 96-24-11 aileron rod wear inspection is a requirement of EACH 400 hour airframe inspection even though the AD has a 600 hour requirement. Make sure these are recorded in the logbooks.

Hydraulic Fuses
AD 98-06-10 requires the functional checking of the hydraulic fuses every three years or 1200 hours, which ever comes first. It means ALL THREE fuses, not just the indicator fuse. We are finding the sign-off for the AD just referencing the indicator fuse. Also, if you read the brake bleeding instructions in the manual, you will find that the fuse is required to be checked EACH time a brake is replaced and bled.

The FAA has released AD FAA-2006-16-18 R1 that affects the IAI 1124 Westwind Fleet. This relates to the Sandel Avionics Incorporated Model ST3400 TAWS/RMI. These units did not come as original equipment under its type certificate but would have been installed with a STC. Please see the following link to the AD.

Aileron Push Pull Tubes
It was brought to our attention that FAA AD92-12-02 and IAI SB 1124-27-144 are not in agreement. An Alternate Method of Compliance (AMOC) has been completed by the FAA to correct the disparity. The AD states to replace the existing control rods P/N 513506-503 with a P/N 513506-503RE or -503RD. The issue is when you comply with the SB 1124-27-144 by replacing the offending push pull tubes with the stainless 513506-505, you are no longer in compliance with the AD
Please refer to the IAI AMM 27-00-00 Flight Controls
Contact Worthington for a copy of the AMOC for your records (ANM-116-08-182R1)

Horizontal Stabilizer
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 89-12-08 has a 300-hr. horizontal stabilizer inspection requirement, and AD 96-24-11 has a 600-hr. aileron push-pull tube/guider roller inspection requirement. However, operators need to be aware that Chapter 5 of the Maintenance Manual requires them to be accomplished at 200-hr. and 400-hr. intervals, respectively. Please make sure that your maintenance facility is aware of this and makes the proper logbook entries.

Rudder Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2004-14-14
We have received confirmation from the FAA that aircraft that have previously been inspected inaccordance with Section 5-40-03 (dated January 31, 2003) of the structural inspection program (structural“B”) meet the requirements of paragraph (a).We are discussing an adjustment to the AD compliance time of 50 hours with the FAA. It seems that theFAA, Civil Aviation Administration of Israel (CAAI), and Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) weren’t in agreementas far as the compliance times were concerned. Unfortunately, your local Flight Standards District Office(FSDO) is not authorized to grant an extension to the 50-hour limit. That must be done through the FAA inSeattle using the Alternate Means of Compliance (AMOC) procedure. Contact Dan Rodina at 425-227-2125.He is the FAA person whose name is at the bottom of the AD.
