These engines are installed on, but not limited to Mitsubishi MU-2B series, Fairchild SA226 series (Swearingen Merlin and Metro series), Twin Commander 680 and 690 series (Jetprop Commander), Cessna Aircraft Company Model 441 Conquest, and Jetstream 3201 series airplanes.

Requirement:

To prevent cracked first stage turbine disks from causing uncontained disk separation, resulting in engine damage and shutdown, and possible damage to the aircraft, accomplish the following: 1. Perform a fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) of first stage turbine disks, P/N 3101520-1, per accomplishment instructions 2.A.(4)(a) through 2.A.(4)(d) in Honeywell ASB TPE331-A72-2102. First stage turbine disks that pass FPI must be eddy current inspected (ECI) before returning to service, per a Honeywell approved ECI. 2. Perform repetitive FPIs of first stage turbine disks P/N 3101520-1 and P/N 3107079-1, per accomplishment instructions 2.B.(3)(a) through 2.B.(3)(d) in Honeywell ASB TPE331-A72-2102. First stage turbine disks that pass FPI must be eddy current inspected (ECI) before returning to service, per a Honeywell approved ECI. (FAA AD 2004-09-29 refers)

Compliance:

1. For first stage turbine disks with 4100 CSN or less, inspect at next access, and for first stage turbine disks with more than 4100 CSN, inspect within 400 cycles and prior to accumulating 4500 CSN. 2. At every scheduled hot section inspection.

Note 1: Note 2:

First stage turbine disks, P/N 3107079-1, do not require an initial inspection, because they receive an FPI and ECI at the time of conversion. The replacement of a first stage turbine disk, with a disk that does not have a S/N specified in Table 1 of Honeywell ASB TPE331-A72-2102, constitutes a terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirements specified in requirement 2 of this AD. For the purposes of this AD, next access is when the turbine wheel assembly is removed from the engine, or before a turbine wheel assembly is installed in an engine. 26 May 2005 First, Second & Third Stage Turbine Rotors Counting Method and Replacement All model TPE331-1, -1U, -1UA, -2, -2UA, -3U, -3UW, -3W, -5, -5A, -5AB, -5B, -5U, 6, - 6A, -6U, -8, -8A, -9, -9U, -10, -10A, -10AV, -10B, -10G, -10GP, - 10GR, -10GT, 10J, -10N, -10P, -10R, -10T, -10U, -10UA, -10UF, -10UG, -10UGR, -10UJ, -10UK, 10UR, -11U, -11UA, -12, -12B, -12JR, -12UA, -12UAR, -12UER, -12UHR and TSE331-3U engine series.

Note 3:

Effective Date: DCA/AIR/23 Applicability:

Requirement:

To prevent uncontained failure of first, second and third turbine rotors due to lowcycle-fatigue (LCF) and damage to the aircraft, accomplish the following: 1. For turbine rotors installed before the effective date of this AD and currently or previously used in special-use operations: Determine the total equivalent cycles accrued for the turbine rotors per the instructions in paragraph 2.A. of the applicable Honeywell Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. TPE331-A72-2111 for TPE331-1 through - 6 series engines and TSE331-3U engines, ASB TPE331-A72-2123 for TPE331-8 through -9 series engines, ASB TPE331-A72-2130 for TPE331-10 through -11 series engines, and ASB TPE331A72-2131 for TPE331-12 series engines.

Note 1:

Special-use operations is defined as an engine that accrues major and minor cycles and is installed in an aircraft that makes multiple takeoffs and landings without engine shutdown. If it is not possible to determine the cycles for special-use operations due to the absence of actual data regarding the number of takeoffs and landings per major cycle, use an estimated ratio of six takeoffs and landings per major cycle. A major cycle is an engine start, takeoff, landing, and shutdown. A minor cycle which occurs within a major cycle, is an additional landing with an engine speed reduction to ground idle with no engine shutdown followed by a takeoff.
