Unsafe Condition

Improperly assembled and subsequent failure of the constant delta pressure (delta P) diaphragm in the fuel control unit (FCU) can lead to an increase in fuel flow, resulting in overspeed of the gas generator and power turbine, and potential turbine blade separation, causing an uncommanded in-flight engine shutdown.

Required Actions
