Unsafe Condition

Failure of scavenge oil pump gears which could result in total loss of engine power.

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

Required Actions

Inspect gear teeth for a drill point as shown in Figure 1 of TCM Service Bulletin M90-6. If the drill point is present or absent but fails a Rockwell hardness test, replace gears with serviceable part numbers 649157 or 649159. Make an appropriate log book entry.

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

Compliance Time

Within 500 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, or at the next maintenance event after the effective date during which the scavenge oil pump gears are removed from the engine, whichever occurs first.
