Honeywell International Inc. Appliances
This AD applies to Honeywell International Inc. Autopilot System.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all aircraft equipped with a certain Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) KAP 140 or KFC 225 autopilot system. AlliedSignal Avionics Inc. manufactured these autopilot systems before transferring the design data to Honeywell. This AD requires that you inspect the autopilot servo actuator for a loose fastener and modify the autopilot servo actuator when a loose fastener is found. This AD is the result of a report of failure of the autopilot servo actuator to disengage when the autopilot power was removed. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct a loose fastener in the autopilot servo actuator, which could cause the autopilot servo actuator to not disengage when power to the autopilot is removed. This could cause the pilot to experience additional control forces.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
