Airworthiness Directives; Teledyne Continental Motors

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2000-11-51 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) O-300, IO-360, TSIO-360, and LTSIO-520-AE series reciprocating engines. That action required within 10 flight hours after receipt of that AD, replacement of certain magnetos if they fall within the specified serial number range, inspection of the removed magneto to verify that the stop pin is still in place, and, if the stop pin is not in place, inspection of the engine gear train. This amendment requires the same replacement and inspections and adds TCM C-125 and C145 series reciprocating engines to the applicability, which were inadvertently omitted from the emergency AD. This amendment is prompted by reports of engine failures on certain TCM reciprocating engines. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent engine failure and loss of control of the airplane due to migration of the magneto impulse coupling stop pin out of the magneto frame and into the gear train of the engine.

Part-conditional — 6314, 6324, 6364.

Applies only to affected TCM engines equipped with Unison Industries (Slick) Magnetos models 6314, 6324, or 6364, bearing magneto serial numbers 99110001 through 9912999 inclusive.

Whether AD 2002-13-04 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
