Airworthiness Directive 2013-21329
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Various Aircraft Equipped With Rotax Aircraft Engines 912 A Series Engine
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for various aircraft equipped with Rotax Aircraft Engines 912 A Series Engine. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as oil leaks in the intake channel in the area of the valve guide on some cylinder heads could increase the oil consumption and result in engine stoppage. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2013-21329 applies to
Applies only to the listed airplane models when the Rotax 912 A series engine has cylinder head assembly (2/3) P/N 623682 installed.
Whether AD 2013-21329 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:
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.
