Airworthiness Directives; AlliedSignal, Inc. (formerly Textron Lycoming) Models LTS101-650B1, -750B1, -650C, and -750C Turboshaft Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to AlliedSignal, Inc. (formerly Textron Lycoming) Models LTS101-650B1, -750B1, -650C, and -750C turboshaft engines, that requires installation of an improved power turbine (PT) rotor and electronic PT rotor overspeed controller as a terminating action to the currently required inspections of AD 88-14-01. This amendment is prompted by reports of additional bearing failures since publication of AD 88-14-01, including one additional uncontained PT disk failure. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent PT overspeed and uncontained engine failure.

Whether AD 96-2589 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 96-2589 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.
