To prevent an uncontained APU cooling fan failure, accomplish the following:

A. Upon removal of the cooling fan assembly, Garrett Part Number 3862160-3 or -4, from an affected GTCP331 series Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) for any reason; or within 1,000 airplane hours time-in-service after August 15, 1985, or prior to September 15, 1985, whichever comes first, for the Boeing Model 757 and 767 series airplanes; and within 1,000 airplane hours time-in-service after April 2, 1987 (the effective date of Amendment 39-5571), for all other airplanes with a GTCP331 series APU installed; incorporate the new fan assembly with the improved fan containment housing as specified in Section 2.A, "Accomplishment Instructions," of Garrett Service Bulletin GTCP331-49-5546, dated August 9, 1984.

B. Upon removal of the modified cooling fan assembly, Garrett Part Number 3862160-5, from an affected GTCP331 series APU for any reason, or within six (6) months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, for all airplanes with GTCP331 series APU installed, incorporate the latest improved fan containment configuration in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Garrett Service Bulletin 3862160-49-5716, dated November 19, 1987.

C. An alternate means of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Northwest Mountain Region.

NOTE: The request should be forwarded through an FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector (PMI), who may add any comments and then send it to the Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Northwest Mountain Region.

D. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a maintenance base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.
