Teledyne Continental Motors Appliances
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-12-06. Comply with the one in force.
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 amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) (formerly Bendix) S-20, S-1200, D-2000, and D-3000 series magnetos equipped with impulse couplings, that currently requires inspections for wear, and replacement, if necessary, of the impulse coupling assemblies. This amendment requires replacement, if necessary, of worn riveted impulse coupling assemblies with serviceable riveted impulse couplings or snap ring impulse couplings. This amendment is prompted by the availability of an improved design for the impulse coupling assembly. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent magneto failure and subsequent engine failure.
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.
