Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9337 · Mooney Aviation Company Inc Airplanes
Mooney Aviation Company Inc Airplanes
This AD applies to Mooney Aviation Company Inc M20K.
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 applies to Mooney Aircraft Corporation (Mooney) Model M20K airplanes with a Continental TSIO-520-NB engine installed in accordance with Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SA5691NM. This action requires repetitively inspecting the exhaust transition tube and turbo mount assembly for cracks, and replacing any part found cracked. A report of a cracked exhaust transition tube that connects the exhaust manifolds to the turbocharger inlet on one of the affected airplanes prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent exhaust gases from entering the cabin heating system because of a cracked exhaust transition tube, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in hazardous levels of carbon monoxide in the airplane cabin.
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.
