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

Required Actions

Perform a spectrometric oil analysis every 25 hours of engine operation as outlined in the Avco Lycoming Engine Maintenance Manual and Alert Notice 3V-W714. If iron content exceeds six parts per million, increases by three parts per million between samples, or any other metal exceeds five parts per million, inspect and repair prior to further flight. Alternative methods may discontinue requirements if approved.

REGULATORY TEXT:   79-06-06 R2 AVCO LYCOMING DIVISION: Amendment 39-3440 as amended by Amendment 39-3506 is further amended by Amendment 39-3795. Applies to all LTS101-600A, -600B, -600A-2, and -650A-2 turboshaft and LTP101-600 and -600A turboprop engines.
Compliance required as indicated.
1. To prevent undetected lubrication system contamination leading to oil starvation of engine bearings and subsequent engine stoppage, accomplish the following within the next 5 hours of engine operation unless already accomplished and every 25 hours thereafter:
Perform a spectrometric oil analysis as outlined in the applicable Avco Lycoming Engine Maintenance Manual, Chapter 71-00-00, and in accordance with Avco Lycoming Alert Notice, Reference 3V- W714, dated February 16, 1979, or equivalent method approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, New England Region. If any of the following spectrometric oil analysis limits are exceeded, inspect and repair, prior to further flight, in accordance with Chapter 72-00-00, Paragraph 13, of the appropriate Avco Lycoming Engine Maintenance Manual:
a. Iron content, six parts per million.
b. Between consecutive spectrometric oil analysis, iron content increases by three parts per million.
c. Any other metal, five parts per million.
NOTE: Engine operation not to exceed 4 calendar days or 25 hours between extraction of oil sample and obtaining spectrometric oil analysis results is authorized.
2. For LTP101-600 and 600A turboprop engines, S/N LE 50001 through S/N LE 50017, the requirements of paragraph 1 may be discontinued after the power turbine rotor assembly P/N 4-143-010-01/-02 is replaced with either:
a. Rotor assembly P/N 4-143-010-01/02 with "APOLS93277" etched on rear face of wrenching surface, or
b. Rotor assembly P/N 4-143-010-03, in accordance with Avco Lycoming Service Bulletin No. LTP101-72-0003, Revision 1, dated May 21, 1979, or equivalent method approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, New England Region.
3. For LTS101-600A, -600B, -600A-2, and -650A-2 turboshaft engines, the requirements of Paragraph 1 may be discontinued if the engine installation incorporates a full flow scavenge chip detector, TEDECO P/N A615 or equivalent, installed in accordance with STC SH2929SW or equivalent method approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, New England Region.
4. For all engines affected by this AD, the requirements of Paragraph 1 may be discontinued if the equivalent means of detecting lubrication system contamination, approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, New England Region, are effected.
Avco Lycoming Alert Notice, Reference 3V-W714, dated February 16, 1979, and Service Bulletin No. LTP101-72-0003, Revision 1, dated May 21, 1979, refer to this subject.
