Franklin Piston Engines

AD/FK-P/2 Connecting Rods - Replacement 8/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 30 July 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in1967 against Franklin Bulletin (SB) No. 105 required replacement of a particular batch of connecting rods manufactured between July and September 1960 due manufacturing faults.

Compliance was before installation in an aircraft after 15 June 1967.

This AD has been sufficiently promulgated for the affected engines to have been modified by now; therefore this AD is considered to be no longer required.
