Teledyne Continental Motors Appliances
This AD applies to Teledyne Continental Motors Magnetos.
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 document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting airworthiness directive (AD) 94-06-09 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) (formerly Bendix) SC-20, SC-200, and S-1200 series magnetos by individual letters. This AD requires inspection to determine if capacitors that may have an intermittent open circuit condition are installed in magnetos, and replacement, if necessary, with serviceable capacitors. This amendment is prompted by reports that TCM produced and delivered magneto capacitors that have the potential for an intermittent open circuit condition that may exist between the internal through-lead and the p-lead stud terminal. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent possible injury or death to ground personnel due to a non-grounded magneto.
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.
