Compliance is required as indicated unless already accomplished.
To prevent excessive wear and/or fretting damage on the external splines of the turbine spline adapter or the aft splines of the turbine-to-compressor coupling shaft, which can progress to a disconnect and subsequent overspeed gas generator turbine failure/uncontained failure, accomplish the following:
(a) Within the next five hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, but not later than December 20, 1986, for inservice engines, inspect the gas generator turbine spline adapter locknut torque in accordance with Allison Commercial Engine Alert Bulletin 250-C28/C30 CEB-A-72-2132/3146 dated October 1, 1985, or FAA approved equivalent.
(b) Before initial flight, for uninstalled affected turbine assemblies, inspect the gas generator turbine spline adapter locknut torque in accordance with Allison Commercial Engine Alert Bulletin 250-C28/C30 CEB- A-72-2132/3146 dated October 1, 1985, or FAA approved equivalent.
