Honeywell International Inc. Engines
This AD applies to Honeywell International Inc. TPE331-1, TPE331-2, TPE331-2UA, TPE331-3U, TPE331-3UW, TPE331-5, TPE331-5A, TPE331-6, TPE331-6A, TSE331-3U.
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 amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Allied-Signal Inc., Garrett Engine Division, TPE331 series turboprop and Model TSE331-3U turboshaft engines. This action requires inspection of certain third stage turbine stator assemblies, and replacement, if necessary, with serviceable assemblies. This amendment is prompted by reports of six third stage turbine stator assemblies assembled with inner seal supports made of incorrect material that results in a significantly reduced cyclic life. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an uncontained failure of the third stage turbine wheel.
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.
