COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 106 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
Background: This Directive was originally issued to require repetitive inspection of the reduction gearbox magnetic plug and to remove from service, reduction gearboxes not incorporating a modified intermediate pinion. Unmodified gearboxes are more prone to intermediate pinion gear failure that may result in a possible turbine overspeed.
This amendment clarifies engine models applicable and amends the compliance intervals to reflect that detailed in the applicable Turbomeca service bulletin and DGAC airworthiness directive.
The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 25 June 1992.

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority 13 August 2001
The above AD is notified in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette on 12 September 2001.
