Unsafe Condition

Loss of oil from the Godfrey Cabin Compressor due to the oil metering unit or bearing covering plate becoming loose.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Inspect the oil metering unit and bearing cover plate for security (nuts tight and spring washers fully compressed) within 50 hours' time in service after the AD's effective date and during subsequent gear box oil checks. Replace and lockwire the retaining nuts per Godfrey Service Bulletin 21-116-1195 or equivalent within 1500 hours' time in service or at the next Supercharger overhaul, whichever comes first. Discontinue inspections after completing the replacement.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Compliance Time

Within the next 50 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD and thereafter at intervals whenever the gear box oil contents are checked for inspections. For replacements, within the next 1500 hours' time in service or at the next Supercharger overhaul, whichever occurs earlier.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
