Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. Propeller Governors, Part Numbers C210776, T210761, D210760, and J210761
This AD applies to Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. propeller governors, part numbers (P/Ns) C210776, T210761, D210760, and J210761, as listed by serial number on pages 3 and 4 of Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. SB-DES-353, Revision A, dated December 16, 2009.
(d) These propeller governors are installed on, but not limited to, American Champion Aircraft Corporation Model 7GCAA (governor P/N T210761), Diamond Aircraft Industries, Inc. Model DA-40 (governor P/N C210776), Hawker Beechcraft Model A36 (governor P/N D210760), and Industria Aeronautica Neiva S/A (subsidiary of Embraer) model EMB-202A (governor P/N J210761) airplanes.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain serial numbers (S/Ns) of Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. propeller governors, part numbers (P/Ns) C210776, T210761, D210760, and J210761. This AD requires removal of the affected propeller governors from service. This AD results from three reports received of failed propeller governors. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of propeller pitch control, damage to the propeller governor, and internal damage to the engine, which could prevent continued safe flight or safe landing.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within 100 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, unless the actions have already been done.
(g) Remove affected propeller governors from service.
(h) After the effective date of this AD, do not install an affected propeller governor unless it has been inspected, repaired, and permanently marked with “SB-DES-353 Rev. A Date * * *.” near the data plate, by Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc.
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.
