Unsafe Condition

Loose pneumatic quick-disconnect unions on Goodrich pitot probes P/N 0851HL, potentially due to mis-torque at equipment manufacturing level, could lead to an air leak, resulting in incorrect total pressure measurement and erroneous Calibrated Airspeed (CAS)/MACH parameters delivered by the Air Data Computer (ADC).

Required Actions

Inspect the pneumatic quick-disconnect union on Goodrich P/N 0851HL pitot probes for adequate torque. Apply torque if the union is not adequately torqued. Install pitot probes marked with a red torque check-indicating mark without further action.
