Allison Engine Company, Inc. AE 2100A, AE 2100C, and AE 2100D3 series turboprop engines, with turbine wheels, part numbers (P/Ns) 23053358, 23059878, 23062373, 23062376, 23063462, 23064473, 23064474, 23064822, 23065891, 23065892, 23066791, and 23068072 installed. These engines are installed on but not limited to Saab Aircraft AB 2000, Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara (IPTN) Model N-250-100, and Lockheed Martin Model 382J (Military C130J) series aircraft.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Allison Engine Company, Inc. AE 2100A, AE 2100C, and AE 2100D3 series turboprop engines. This action requires removing from service affected turbine wheels prior to exceeding new, reduced cyclic life limits. This amendment is prompted by the results of a refined life analysis. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent an uncontained turbine wheel failure, which could result in damage to the aircraft.
