Unsafe Condition

Loss of oil pressure due to excessive wear of oil pump drive gear P/N's 22354/RR or 23403/RR.

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

Required Actions

Within 25 hours' time in service after the effective date, inspect the oil pump drive gear's back lash (angular movement) per Service Bulletin T-200. Depending on the back lash measurement, adjust inspection intervals: ≤6 degrees every 300 hours, >6 to ≤10 degrees every 100 hours, >10 to ≤14 degrees every 25 hours, or replace gear if >14 degrees before further flight. Replace with improved gear or equivalent if necessary.

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

Compliance Time

Within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished within the last 25 hours' time in service before the effective date, and thereafter at the intervals specified.

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

Affected Aircraft

Rolls Royce (1971) Limited Models RR C90 (except S/N 11R021 and subsequent), RR O-200 (except S/N 23R590-23R600 and 23R638 and subsequent), and RR O-300 (except S/N 31R162 and subsequent) engines with oil pump drive gear P/N 22354/RR or 23403/RR installed.

REGULATORY TEXT:   72-25-02 ROLLS ROYCE (1971) LIMITED: Amendment 39-1567 as amended by Amendment 39-1624. Applies to Rolls Royce Continental engines that have oil pump drive gear P/N's 22354/RR or 23403/RR installed. Those engines may include Model RR C90, except S/N's 11R021 and subsequent; Model RR O-200 engines, except S/N's 23R590 through 23R600 and 23R638 and subsequent and Model RR O-300 engines, except S/N's 31R162 and subsequent.
Compliance required as indicated.
To prevent the loss of oil pressure due to excessive wear of oil pump drive gear P/N's 22354/RR or 23403/RR accomplish the following:
(a) Within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished within the last 25 hours' time in service before the effective date of this AD, and thereafter at the intervals specified in paragraph (b), determine the amount of back lash (angular movement) in the oil pump drive gear in accordance with Rolls Royce Service Bulletin No. T-200, dated November 26, 1971, or an FAA-approved equivalent.
(b) If the amount of back lash (angular movement) determined in accordance with paragraph (a) during an inspection required by paragraph (a) or this paragraph is -
(1) Six degrees or less, continue to inspect in accordance with paragraph (a) at intervals not to exceed 300 hours' time in service since the last inspection;
(2) More than 6 degrees but not more than 10 degrees, continue to inspect in accordance with paragraph (a) at intervals not to exceed 100 hours' time in service since the last inspection;
(3) More than 10 degrees but not more than 14 degrees, continue to inspect in accordance with paragraph (a) at intervals not to exceed 25 hours' time in service since the last inspection;
(4) More than 14 degrees, before further flight, replace oil pump drive gear P/N's 22354/RR or 23403/RR, as applicable, with -
(i) An improved oil pump drive gear as specified in Rolls Royce Service Bulletin No. T-200, dated November 26, 1971, or an FAA-approved equivalent; or
(ii) An oil pump drive gear of the same part number with 14 degrees or less of back lash (angular movement), determined in accordance with paragraph (a), and continue to comply with paragraph (b), as applicable.
(c) The repetitive inspections required by subparagraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), and (b)(4)(ii) may be discontinued when oil pump drive gear P/N's 22354/RR or 23403/RR are replaced with improved oil pump drive gear as specified in Rolls Royce Service Bulletin No. T-200, dated November 26, 1971, or an FAA-approved equivalent.
