2013-24-09: Engine Controls

Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. Sec. 39.13 [Amended] 0 2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD: 2013-24-09 EADS CASA (Type Certificate Previously Held by Construcciones Aeron[aacute]uticas, S.A.): Amendment 39-17683. Docket No. FAA-2013-0688; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-221-AD. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective January 21, 2014. (b) Affected ADs None. (c) Applicability This AD applies to EADS CASA (Type Certificate previously held by Construcciones Aeron[aacute]uticas, S.A.) Model C-212-CB, C-212- CC, C-212-CD, C-212-CE, and C-212-DF airplanes; certificated in any category; all serial numbers, except those that have been modified in production to incorporate EADS CASA Modification 10515. (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 76, Engine Controls. (e) Reason This AD was prompted by a report of the propeller pitch control (PPC) lever becoming disconnected from the engine due to a missing bolt. We are issuing this AD to prevent PPC shaft disconnection, which could lead to a loss of propeller pitch control, possibly resulting in uncommanded change to the engine power settings and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. (f) Compliance You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done. (g) Modification Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the PCC lever attachment system of the aircraft engine, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of EADS-CASA Service Bulletin SB-212-76-0009, Revision 1, dated August 03, 2012. Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: EADS-CASA Service Bulletin SB-212-76-0009, Revision 1, dated August 03, 2012, refers to Honeywell Service Bulletin TPE331-72-2190, dated December 21, 2011, as an additional source of guidance for modifying the cam assembly.
