Airworthiness Directives; AlliedSignal Aerospace GTCP85 Series Auxiliary Power Units

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to AlliedSignal Aerospace (formerly Garrett Auxiliary Power Division and Garrett Turbine Engine Co.) GTCP85 series auxiliary power units (APU), that requires modifying the APU to install an exhaust centerbody. This amendment is prompted by reports of two uncontained APU failures where turbine wheel fragments exited the APU exhaust axially and damaged the aircraft. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an axially uncontained APU failure and damage to the aircraft.

Whether AD 95-07-03 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 95-07-03 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.
