Per the Lycoming website it is still an active bulletin, which we quote in part as follows: (It has all the same definitions found in AD 2004-10-14 that we printed in italics but has additional information): FAA Partners With Korea On Advanced Air Mobility, Guest Blog: Why Aircraft Engines Should Be Hard To Start, Southwest: The Ghost Of Jack Welch Part II, And Now, A ChatBot For All Your Aviation Questions, Best Of The Web: How The Rolls-Royce Merlin Became A World, Best Of The Web: Why Wingsuits Are Flight As Pure As, General Aviation Accident Bulletin, January 16, 2023, Top Letters And Comments, January 13, 2023, National Museum Of The U.S. Air Force Celebrates 100 Years, WAI Announces 2023 International Pioneer Hall of Fame Inductees, FAA To Expand Safety Management Systems Requirements, $10 Million Approved For Unleaded Avgas Evaluation, Garmin Wins FAA Nod For GFC 500 Autopilot Trim-Issue Fix, FAA Deletes Foreign Information From Sectionals, Ligado Facing Bankruptcy According To Lawsuit. There's also the cost of inspection of the accessories, which is extra. Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official This could indicate a gear-up landing, or other source of damage that took time to fix. And again, Chapter 8 of AC 43.13-1B is a good place to start gathering unbiased information. Either may require additional inspection but neither may negate the inspections required by the FARs. Prior to any ground operation of the engine assure that the propeller flange and the crankshaft flange area are free of any crack indications in addition to the engine component inspection. DeJoris explains, "Take for example the prop governor drive the rotating mass in the prop governor, mainly the flyweight assembly can really be problem if suddenly stopped. This year's numbers have placed us in the top 10, highlighting another strong year of property development. Although many in the industry still like to interpret rules to their advantage, the mechanic is being faced with fewer and fewer "outs" This article originally appeared in the December 2012 issue of Light Plane Maintenance. I watched the video and figured the pilot had reduced power before hitting the ditch. 49 U.S.C. Be especially wary if this is some form of private cash sale that has to be done right away, unless you are planning to have it torn down and rebuilt by a shop with the right inspection equipment to inspect for crank and gear damage, and be prepared for costs potentially exceeding a factory reman engine i.e. Are any of the engines accessories inspected as they should be, and if so to what extent? If the engine was assembled new, rebuilt, or overhauled on or before March 31, 1998, or on or after April 1, 2000, no action is required. Basically anything that moves is subject to visual and other forms of nondestructive testing. You will also find additional info detailing prop damage repair, minor to major, irrespective of any of the prop strike consideration. And what's a "solid object?" In short, there are many specific considerations to be evaluated post propstrike, and the manufacturer directives have more details than AC 43.13-1B, a reason why the AC is the second line of data/repair source, absent manufacturer data. More than the prop and crankshaft AC 43.13-1B has a great deal to say about what should be done in the manner of inspections and actions, and all the statements are preceded by the word must such as following the manufacturer directives as the priority action, with emphasis on the importance of a teardown when the event meets the criteria. documents in the last year, by the Transportation Security Administration After the extent of the inspection has been determined, it is important, as with any major repairs that are accomplished on your aircraft, to find out exactly what is included in the estimate to repair your engine following a prop strike. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Atlanta ACO. Its entirely possible after a sudden engine stoppage for there to be severe internal damage and yet the prop looks perfectly OK even if the prop was either totally stopped or the rpm dropped by the incident. A Textron Lycoming engine, that is being operated on a Part 91 aircraft, that had a sudden engine stoppage, not a propeller strike, must comply with AD 91-14-22 and Service Bulletin 475B at a minimum. TCM-powered aircraft operating under Part 135 of the FARs that have to comply with all manufacturers service bulletins would have to comply with Service Bulletin 96-11B, dealing with prop strikes, dated July 2008, requiring total Aircraft was involved in a prop strike. The oil pump on the Continental IO-360 is driven by a very small shaft, for instance, and can be easily sheared as a result of a strike," says DeJoris. Everyone was happy and the prices were right. What looks like light damage may sometimes result in something broken or highly stressed inside, while a major collision shows nothing wrong after it's been torn down." (j) The preceding definitions include situations where an aircraft is stationary and the landing gear collapses causing one or more blades to be substantially bent, or where a hangar door (or other object) strikes the propeller blade. So my question was, should I overhaul the present engine or look for one with good logs? There are other things that have to be checked, including the magnetos, propeller governor, and fuel system. Factory New & Factory Rebuilt Gasoline Engines +1.251.436.8101 08:00 - 17:00 Gasoline Engine Overhauls & MRO +1.251.990.5080 08:00 - 17:00 Technical Support (AvGas & For complete information about, and access to, our official publications If possible, he suggests, mark the flange somehow, or take a photo of the scratches and nicks so you can compare it to the "new" one later. documents in the last year, 675 After watching the video, with the airplane careening into a ditch amid a cloud of dirt and debris, I figured that the engine I just purchased fit these definitions. Actually they are fairly consistent. on FederalRegister.gov The FAA has reviewed and approved the technical contents of TCM Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) 005C, dated October 10, 2000. At Unlimited Aero Engines we know that things happen, and happen fast. FIND A DEALER. "The result is that those flyweights that are hanging on by 1/8-inch pins can easily bend, twist, or damage those pins. Information about this document as published in the Federal Register. When a prop strike incident occured, standard industry accesptance was to have the mechanic remove the propeller and dial indicator, "or check the crankshaft flange for being out of limits." are not part of the published document itself. Lycoming engines that specifically mentions prop strikes and mandates some degree of tear down, but not necessarily a full tear down, and only if it is a prop strike as opposed to a sudden stoppage. Are the minimum legal requirements being met? documents in the last year, 117 Well discuss that distinction and exempt engines later in this article. Communications should identify the Rules Docket number and be submitted Start Printed Page 70655in triplicate to the address specified under the caption ADDRESSES. What other services or inspections are being performed at the same time as the inspection? So carefully consider all factors related to propeller strikes. To comply with AD 2004-10-14, if it applies to your engine, the engine does not need to be completely disassembled and access to the accessory gear train can be accomplished, in most cases, with the engine still installed in the aircraft. (c) Crankshaft material inspections (crankshaft propeller flange core samples) that were done using TCM MSB 00-5, dated April 14, 2000; MSB 00-5A, dated April 28, 2000; or MSB 00-5B, dated May 25, 2000, comply with this AD and must not be repeated. Although not a guarantee of any kind, the lack of movement showed that utter destruction had not occurred. Without even trying, the FAA did what hasn't been done since 9/11: It cleared the airspace of commercial traffic. The Public Inspection page Another problem area is in engines with crank counterweights, a very common design. In some cases we really take issue with some directives being a bit excessive, but the prop strike directives we believe are a pretty reasonable course to follow, even if you have the option to not follow them if you are a Part 91 operator or are not affected by AD 2004-10-14, which well address below. publication in the future. dont do it. documents in the last year, 1487 A prop-strike also imposes terrific jamming forces backward on the rear of the case-where the gearing is located and easily damaged. continental prop strike ad 21 May. After finding out the answer to these questions, its time to discuss with your insurance company what it will pay for and what it wont, before its a big surprise after the inspection is done. Phone: (813) 752-3711 Note 10: 2400 hours TBO may apply. Use the PDF linked in the document sidebar for the official electronic format. Factual information that supports the commenter's ideas and suggestions is extremely helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of the AD action and determining whether additional rulemaking action would be needed. "You naturally think of the crankshaft and things that are directly connected to the engine, but you don't think of other accessories. These cases should be handled as sudden stoppages because of potentially severe side loading on the crankshaft flange, front bearing, and seal.". It pretty much echoes the TCM service bulletin but adds two other situations. For crankshafts identified in paragraph (a) of this AD, TCM has already determined which engines have a new suspect crankshaft installed and have identified those engines by engine SN. All communications received on or before the closing date for comments will be considered, and this rule may be amended in light of the comments received. Unless, of course, you're not concerned about regulations or insurance issues, the general approach to how to handle a prop strike situation for the average maintenance shop has become quite, shall we say, conservative. by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission One of the issues that is particularly hard to quantify if you elect not to tear an engine down, post strike and choose to disregard the fairly specific diagnostic procedures that the engine makers put out is do you have the FAA legal option of ignoring the service directives? If you've attended AirVenture or any of the other major airshows, you've heard it. Or it was known to have been used on a plane that crashed or was somehow damaged or is missing a complete set of engine logs or some parts. I spoke with several shop owners and asked their opinion. 2. We see flyweights and connecting hardware, in some designs, brutalized quite frequently by sudden stoppage. (2) Any incident during engine operation in which the propeller impacts a solid object that causes a These can be useful Mahlon Russell, production manager for Mattituck Aviation Corporation, an engine overhauler in Mattituck, NY, says, "The only pertinent FAA definition that I have been able to find for sudden stoppage' is in Advisory Circular 43.13-1A. documents in the last year, 90 Well, for one i dont think i want to take out any of the clubs planes ever again. You will note TCM does not get into the concept of sudden stoppages possibly being handled differently as Lycoming does. offers a preview of documents scheduled to appear in the next day's legal research should verify their results against an official edition of There may be other additional requirements mandated by insurance policies or engine manufacturer and/or overhauler warranty. Definition of Propeller Strike (i) For the purposes of this AD, a propeller strike is defined as follows: (1) Any incident, whether or not the engine is operating, that requires repair to the propeller other than minor dressing of the blades. The thought of the damage and cost involved makes all of us shudder. Do we think the engine makers are overly eager to have you tear down or dig into your engine? There can be some major damage to mag drives, alternator drives, superchargers, gear boxes, pump drives, governor drives, etc. This occurred during several discrete periods, i.e. The engine SN can be found in logbooks or other maintenance records. Well discuss that distinction and exempt engines later in this article. On TCM engines with the geared alternators up front, he has seen the mounting flange and the gear drive bolts break during a prop strike. Interested persons are invited to comment on this rule by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they may desire. On April 28, 2000, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2000-08-51 that is applicable to Teledyne Continental Motors IO-360, TSIO-360, LTSIO-360, O-470, IO-470, TSIO-470, IO-520, TSIO-520, LTSIO-520, IO-550, TSIO-550, and TSIOL-550 series reciprocating engines. daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial AD/PROP/1 Amdt 2 (continued) Page 6 of 9 HOFFMAN (continued) Continental IO-346 engines 1000 All other Fixed Pitch Types 2000 Flottorp storage, overspeed, ground strike or aerobatic requirements refer mt-propeller Service Bulletin 1 Revision X. A slam stop will detune the weights and damage the bushings so they can no longer do their job of helping to balance the crank while operating. The flange will break before it bends. Type of operator/engine makes a difference documents in the last year, by the Federal Communications Commission TCM is less equivocal. The MSB also describes procedures for removing a core sample of material from the propeller mounting flange of the crankshaft and for cleaning, chamfering, dye checking, and painting the core sample holes. electronic version on GPOs govinfo.gov. on CONTINENTAL TSIO-520-J $18,995 FOR SALE Engine with Accessories TSMO=488.2 No Prop Strike Photos, logs, details per request. I took the ad to an engine overhaul shop, Corona Cylinder and Engine Overhaul in Corona, California, and had the owner, Joe Anderson, call the person selling the engine. DeJoris says he is dealing with claims adjusters on a regular basis, and many adjusters today choose to have you go the extra mile and tear down the entire engine and propeller and do a thorough inspection." Textron Lycoming must take the position that in the case of a sudden stoppage, propeller/rotor strike or loss of propeller/ rotor blade or tip, the safest procedure is to remove and disassemble the engine and completely inspect the reciprocating and rotating parts including crankshaft gear and dowel parts. Anderson, owner of Corona Cylinder and Engine Overhaul, said the cost of a teardown and inspection, for a small four-cylinder engine like the O-360 or -320, is about $4,000. New posts Search forums. 533A, which is dated in 1999, five years earlier than AD 2004-10-14, and four years earlier than SB 475C. Basically the fuel gauges in the center console are shorting out. We have personally seen an instance where a plane lost the entire prop in flight following a so called minor prior strike of hitting a runway light while taxing, but the crank on the IO-520 was only checked for run-out and prop repaired (and this was a Part 135 operated plane). the most are "prop strike." The general consensus is that at least some degree of tear-down is the only safe option under their definition, and largely follows manufacturer data in the general damage/repair evaluation techniques. A. Consider the accessories. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML As for dialing the flange, he said TCM nitrides the crank so checking the run-out of the flange is a waste of time. For those engines that were overhauled in the field with factory new crankshafts, the crankshaft SN should be shown in work orders, log books or other maintenance records. Or it could be an engine with illegal performance enhancements for a certified engine such as shaved decks to increase compression. I've heard that a Continental doesn't require a tear down and inspection as a Lycoming does, but looking at Continental's Service Bulletin SB96-11B it looks Home. If you need someone to remove and reinstall the engine, that's another $1,800. O-435, and TIO-541 series engines being exempt. Talking about whether to have the engine overhauled or just inspected, Tunnel said it can be penciled out. And anyway, who needs NOTAMs? The one that came with the airplane had passed TBO (time between overhauls) but its logbooks didn't go back to when it came from the factory. Bending loads alone are not the only destructive element, and nondestructive testing of the entire crank and associated structures is the only reasonable way to check it out. Studies have shown that a 100-amp alternator can impose a. ", In addition to regulatory changes and manufacturer recommendations, insurance companies are also playing a major role in determining what you do to your engine and prop. Never allow an insurance adjuster to dictate the inspection requirements after an incident. Service Bulletin 533A has the pertinent Lycoming prop-strike definitions for all Lycoming direct drive engines. It still could end up at a prop repair station if inspection deems it a prop major repair requirement depending on manufacturer inspection criteria of the prop. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: A full overhaul will cost about $12,500 plus accessories. It has been determined further that this action involves an emergency regulation under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979). on 2023 Endeavor Business Media, LLC.

The deffination of a prop strike is different on Lycomings than Continentals, Lycoming says any time a prop strikes any thing that will cause a loss of RPM it is a prop strike. TCM mandatory service bulletin (MSB) 005B, dated May 25, 2000, and MSB 005C, dated October 10, 2000, were issued to include the SN's of those additional suspect crankshafts. What this all boils down to is that in the case of any accidental damage to a propeller installed on a aircraft operating under Part 91 of the FARs, it is up to the inspecting mechanic to determine if the engine should continue in service without total disassembly and inspection, or only the SB 475C level of inspection if a Lycoming engine falls into that category. A Rule by the Federal Aviation Administration on 11/27/2000. Inspect all engine accessories in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.". According to John DeJoris, president of Aircraft Propeller Service Inc., in Wheeling, IL, "The FAA has embraced the policy that any type of propeller strike is a cause for teardown and engine manufacturers are quickly jumping on board. Its also important to point out that this is not the only Lycoming bulletinthat discusses prop strikes. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it. And two, "The preceding definitions include situations where an aircraft is stationary and the landing gear collapses causing one or more blades to be substantially bent, or where a hangar door (or other object) strikes the propeller blade. Disregard the letter R.. No more filing blades a bit shorter after a tip strike, or performing a run-up and signing off on an engine after the runway lights have been mowed a bit shorter. documents in the last year. Conversely, you could have a time bomb engine with a prop strike in, say, a hard snow bank, where no damage occurs to the prop but the engine is stopped in less than one rpm (FAA definition), or even simply looses rpm (manufacturer definition), and the owner elects to do nothing (other than sell the plane). 2023 Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Better Together: Industry Resources Help Improve Aviation Safety. 00-29496 Filed 11-24-00; 8:45 am], updated on 4:15 PM on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, updated on 8:45 AM on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, 142 documents provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts. They were legitimate, having been initiated after an inspection, but that doesn't help when selling the airplane. I bought the engine and started my quest to determine what I absolutely had to do to get the airplane airworthy. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); WORLD'S PREMIER INDEPENDENT AVIATION NEWS RESOURCE. Dialing in the flange is worthless for this. Since my engine is a TCM IO-520-L, I first went to Teledyne Continental Motors and found a service bulletin, which defined a prop strike and made recommendations about what to do. How much liability insurance do you have? More information and documentation can be found in our He continues, "T.C.M. Following any propeller strike, complete disassembly and inspection of all rotating engine components is mandatory and must be accomplished prior to further flight. In light of the preceding information, would you be comfortable doing that? Nitride hardened cranks have a greater tendency to crack, since the nitride hardened materials resist bending. How much more time before overhaul is remaining on the engine? However, they have the caveat that the inspecting mechanic may override that position and return the engine to service without disassembly and inspection if he feels that it is the prudent and responsible thing to do. The pressure from an owner to ignore the engine and fix the prop may be great, but it is certainly in the best interest of the mechanic's career to persuade the owner that any amount of damage to the propeller constitutes the need for a thorough inspection. Steve Whitson, AOPA 593652, of Perris, California, has more than 3,000 hours and owns a 1977 Cessna 210. 1 in 2022, Southwest To Build Aircraft Hangar, Create 100 Jobs at Reid Airport, Boeing, United Airlines Finalize 737 MAX and 787 Order, Including Record Purchase for 100 Dreamliners. Definition of Propeller Strike (i) For the purposes of this AD, a propeller strike is defined as follows: (1) Any incident, whether or not the engine is operating, that requires repair to the propeller other than minor dressing of the blades. documents in the last year, 41 In many instances prop strikes will fall into the major repair category, which necessitates repair station or manufacturer repair of the prop (if needed). As mentioned earlier, Advisory Circular 43.13-1B, Chapter 8 defines a sudden engine stoppage as stopping an operating engine in one revolution or less for any reason, period, and includes prop-strike damage as a subset of the of sudden stoppage definition (at least the way we interpret the way it is written). Engines that have been rebuilt by TCM will have a letter R at the end of the six digit numerical portion. A tear down of most direct drive engines isnt a major repair but we recommend using a certified repair station or the factory for that action as well as the level of NDT testing will be significant and required to be done by certified people for such critical NDT inspections. the most are "prop strike." Putting the puzzle together Before I got to that, as you'd expect from a group of pilots and mechanics, arguments in my owner's group raged about the wording. Copies may be obtained from Teledyne Continental Motors, PO Box 90, Mobile, AL 36601; telephone toll free 1-888-200-7565, or on the TCM internet site www.tcmlink.com. 13132, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. The argument goes would you rather be paying for an in flight engine failure 100 hours from now. But if there's 1,000 hours or more left on the engine, you're probably better off with just an inspection. Just a few short months ago, Textron Lycoming's Service Letter L-163C recommended taking the engine apart for inspection following any incident involving propeller blade damage. Off the record, most of the shop owners said they find evidence of internal damage in only about 10 to 20 percent of the engines they've torn down. Following any propeller strike, complete disassembly and inspection of all rotating engine components is mandatory and must be accomplished prior to There is also a measure of anecdotal evidence in the engine accident/incident statistics that engines that have a prop strike/sudden stoppage and owners who did not follow the manufacturer recommendations such as only checking the crankshaft run-out, have a higher incidence of broken cranks or other engine failures a number of flight hours later. On November 24, 1999, the FAA was notified of a crankshaft failure on a TCM engine. The FAA definition of a sudden stoppage, is the engine stopping suddenly in under one rpm. Replace the rotobroach after the sixth core sample, or before if the rotobroach does not cut with the maximum torque applied. The Lycoming information is more complicated and equivocating than the TCM directives in our opinion, as well explain. ", DeJoris adds, "As a result, there is no real relationship today between the extent of damage of the prop and the type of inspection that has to be done to the engine. This site displays a prototype of a Web 2.0 version of the daily continental prop strike ad continental prop strike ad. (iii) Maintain a record of each core sample obtained with each rotobroach bit used. that agencies use to create their documents. The bulletin reads as follows: I took the other SR20 this time and it was also broken, to the point where it shouldn't have been flown. Sun Sep 23, 2018 8:02 pm. We like to think that those we deal with are honest, however, there's a chance of impropiety by a seller, so when buying an airplane, be careful. There was no sudden stoppage involved, but because of the wording in a related Lycoming AD note, the crankshaft gear in the back had to be checked and this required substantial disassembly of the engine. Pre-Flight. Continued evaluation of crankshafts lots with serial numbers (SN's) other than those that were listed in AD 2000-08-51, has detected the same condition in those crankshaft lots. documents in the last year, 1401 Also find additional info detailing prop damage repair, minor to major, irrespective of kind...
