Textron Aviation Inc. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Cessna Aircraft Company) Airplanes
This AD applies to Textron Aviation Inc. (type certificate previously held by Cessna Aircraft Company) Model 182Q and 182R airplanes, certificated in any category, equipped with an affected part as defined in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD installed in accordance with Supplemental Type Certificate SA03302AT.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Textron Aviation Inc. Model 182Q and 182R airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of damaged intercooler inlet and outlet hoses. This AD requires repetitive visual inspections of the intercooler inlet and outlet hoses for cracks and, at a certain compliance time or if any cracks are found, replacement of the intercooler inlet and outlet hoses. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
(1) For the purpose of this AD, an “affected part” is an intercooler inlet or outlet hose having Part Number (P/N) SP01170459-0, P/N SP01170385-1, P/N SP01170460-0, P/N SP01170386-1, P/N 1500004183-1, or P/N 1500004182-1.
(2) For the purpose of this AD a “serviceable part” is an intercooler inlet hose, which is not an affected part; or an affected part which is new or which accumulated less than 500 flight hours since first installation, provided that, within 7 days before installation, it has passed an inspection (no cracks found) in accordance with paragraph 3.A.(a) and (b), Accomplishment Instruction, of SMA Service Bulletin SB-C182-71-011, Rev. 01.
(1) Before further flight after the effective date of this AD and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 50 flight hours: visually inspect each intercooler inlet and outlet hose for any crack in accordance with paragraph 3.A.(a) and (b), Accomplishment Instruction, of SMA Aero Engines GmbH (SMA) Service Bulletin SB-C182-71-011, Revision No. 01, dated October 20, 2025 (SMA Service Bulletin SB-C182-71-011, Rev. 01).
(2) If during any intercooler inlet or outlet hose inspection required by paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, any crack is found, replace the hose, as applicable, with a serviceable part.
(3) Within 500 flight hours since first installation of an affected part on the airplane after the effective date of this AD or before further flight, whichever is later, replace the affected part with a serviceable part.
