Airworthiness Directive E9-28235
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Honeywell International Inc. LTS101 Series Turboshaft and LTP101 Series Turboprop Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Honeywell International Inc. LTS101 series turboshaft and LTP101 series turboprop engines with certain gas generator turbine discs installed. This AD requires reducing the life limits for certain gas generator turbine discs. This AD results from an error in a change to the engineering drawing for the gas generator turbine disc from which Honeywell manufactured 260 discs. We are issuing this AD to prevent rupture of the gas generator turbine disc, which could result in uncontained engine failure and damage to the aircraft.
Which aircraft AD E9-28235 applies to
Applies only when a gas generator turbine disc P/N 4-111-015-14 is installed. Covers both LTS101 turboshaft engines and LTP101 turboprop engines; installed on Eurocopter AS350, Eurocopter Deutschland BK117, Bell Helicopter Textron 222 helicopters, and Page Thrush, Air Tractor AT-302, Piaggio (IAM) P166-DL3, Pacific Aero 08-600, and Riley International R421 airplanes.
Whether AD E9-28235 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.
