Unsafe Condition
Dual engine flameout could result in failure of both engines with consequent loss of control of the airplane.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Incorporate procedures into the POH/AFM Limitations Section from specified appendices to prevent engine flameout in icing conditions. Install a torque sensing system modification using the specified service bulletins to automatically activate engine igniters when low torque is sensed.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Compliance Time
Within the next 6 calendar months after March 11, 2002 for the torque sensing system modification. POH/AFM updates must be done within 50 hours time-in-service after effective dates of prior ADs, except SA26-AT models which have a March 11, 2002 deadline.
