Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17905 · Pratt & Whitney Canada Corporation Turboprop Engines
Pratt & Whitney Canada Corporation Turboprop Engines
This AD applies to Pratt & Whitney Canada Corporation (P&WC) model PW150A turboprop engines, serial number PCE-FA0916 and earlier.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain serial number Pratt & Whitney Canada Corporation (P&WC) model PW150A turboprop engines. This AD requires rerouting of the igniter cables and installation of new support brackets. This AD was prompted by reports of damage to a high-pressure fuel line, which could result in a high- pressure fuel leak into the engine nacelle. We are issuing this AD to prevent high-pressure fuel leaks, which could cause engine fire and damage to the engine and the airplane.
(1) At the next shop visit, but before 36 months from the effective date of this AD, reroute the igniter cables and install new support brackets in accordance with paragraph 3.B., Accomplishment Instructions, of P&WC Service Bulletin (SB) No. PW150-72-35274, Revision 1, dated May 3, 2012.
(2) Reserved.
For the purpose of this AD, a shop visit is when the engine is inducted into the shop to perform maintenance.
If you performed the actions in paragraph (e) of this AD before the effective date of this AD using P&WC SB No. PW150-72-35274, Initial Issue, dated March 23, 2012, you met the requirements of this AD.
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.
