Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell International Inc. Turboprop Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all Honeywell International Inc. TPE331-1, -2, -2UA, -3U, -3UW, -5, -5A, -5AB, -5B, - 6, -6A, -10, -10AV, -10GP, -10GT, -10P, -10R, -10T, -10U, -10UA, -10UF, -10UG, -10UGR, -10UR, -11U, -12JR, -12UA, -12UAR, and -12UHR turboprop engines with certain Honeywell part numbers (P/Ns) of Woodward fuel control unit (FCU) assemblies, installed. The AD number in the document headings is incorrect. Additionally, the Amendment number in the regulatory text is incorrect. This document corrects these two errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

Applies only when a Woodward fuel control unit (FCU) assembly bearing one of the listed Honeywell part numbers is installed; specific FCU part-number groups correspond to specific TPE331 engine model groups per Table 1 in the AD.

Whether AD 2015-12-04 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.

Is AD 2015-12-04 complied with on your aircraft?

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.
