(2) Earlier revision levels of the Rockwell Collins, Inc. service information and service information issued by airplane manufacturers before the effective date of this AD may have specified the installation of FLS with different FAA-approved part numbers than the part numbers listed in paragraph (c) of this AD. If, before December 20, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), a part number that is different than the TSSA-4100 RCPNs listed in paragraph (c) of this AD is installed on the airplane, this AD does not apply to that airplane.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rockwell Collins, Inc. TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Processing Units that incorporate TSSA-4100 Field Loadable Software (FLS) Rockwell Collins part numbers 810-0052-002/-003/-010/-011/-012/-100/-101 and are installed on airplanes. This AD was prompted by five instances of air traffic control observing coasting (extrapolated stale data) of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast data (position/velocity data). This AD requires installing the TSSA-4100 FLS upgrades on the TSS-4100 units. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within the next 12 months after December 20, 2017 (the effective date of this AD) or within the next 750 hours time-in-service after December 20, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, upgrade the TSSA-4100 FLS to RCPN 810-0052-013 or 810-0052-102, as applicable, following Rockwell Collins Service Information Letter, TSSA-4100-SIL-10-1, Revision No. 9, dated March 31, 2017; or Rockwell Collins Service Information Letter TSSA-4100-SIL-10-1, Revision No. 10, dated July 10, 2017.
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.
