These engines are installed on but not limited to: Mitsubishi MU-2B series (MU-2 series); Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA) C-212 series; Fairchild SA226 series (Swearingen Merlin and Metro series); Prop-Jets, Inc. Model 400; Twin Commander 680 and 690 (Jetprop Commander); Rockwell Commander S-2R; Shorts Brothers and Harland, Ltd.

S55T) helicopters.
Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.
To prevent an uncontained failure of the third stage turbine wheel, accomplish the following:
(a) If the cycles in service (CIS) since new or rework of third stage turbine stator assemblies, P/N 868379-1 and -3, are unknown, convert hours time in service (TIS) to CIS by multiplying the hours TIS since new or rework upon receipt of this AD by 1.5 to get CIS since new or rework on the effective date of this AD.
(b) Replace third stage turbine stator assemblies, P/N 868379-1 and -3, with new or reworked assemblies in accordance with the applicable Allied-Signal Inc., Garrett Engine Division, Engine Maintenance Manual, and the following schedule, based upon CIS:



CIS since New or Rework
on the effective date of this AD	Replacement Schedule
CIS unknown	Replace within 50 CIS after the effective date of this AD.
5500 or more CIS	Replace within 50 CIS after the effective date of this AD.
4000 to 5499 CIS
	Replace within 200 CIS after the effective date of this AD, but not more than 5550 CIS since new or rework, whichever occurs first.
3200 to 3999 CIS	Replace within 400 CIS after the effective date of this AD, but not more than 4200 CIS since new or rework, whichever occurs first.
Less than 3200 CIS	Replace prior to accumulating 3600 CIS since new or rework.

(c) During access to the third stage turbine stator assembly as required in paragraph (b) of this AD, remark all third stage turbine stator assemblies P/N 868379-1 as third stage turbine stator assemblies P/N 868379- 3, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Garrett Turbine Engine Company Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. TPE/TSE-331-A72-0384, Revision 3, dated July 1, 1987, or ASB No. TPE/TSE-331-A72- 0384, Revision 4, dated September 4, 1987.
(d) Thereafter, replace third stage turbine stator assemblies, P/N 868379-1 and -3, with new or reworked assemblies in accordance with the applicable Allied-Signal Inc., Garrett Engine Division, Engine Maintenance Manual, at intervals not to exceed 3600 CIS since new or rework.
(e) Replace third stage turbine stator assemblies, P/N 868379-5, with new or reworked assemblies in accordance with the applicable Allied-Signal Inc., Garrett Engine Division, Engine Maintenance Manual, and the following schedule:
CIS since New or Rework on the effective date of this AD	Replacement Schedule
CIS unknown	Replace within 50 CIS after the effective date of this AD.
900 or more CIS	Replace within 50 CIS after the effective date of this AD.
450 to 899 CIS	Replace within 150 CIS after the effective date of this AD, but not more than 950 CIS since new or rework, whichever occurs first.
Less than 450 CIS	Replace prior to accumulating 600 CIS since new or rework.

(f) Thereafter, replace third stage turbine stator assemblies, P/N 868379-5, with new or reworked assemblies in accordance with the applicable Allied-Signal Inc., Garrett Engine Division, Engine Maintenance Manual, at intervals not to exceed 600 CIS since new or rework. NOTE: Additional information regarding the replacement of the stator assembly can be obtained from Allied- Signal, Inc., Garrett Engine Division, ASB No. TPE331-A72-0861, dated November 19, 1992.
(g) For the purposes of this AD, rework of the third stage turbine stator assembly must include installation of a new inner seal support.
(h) Perform a one-time X-ray inspection of all third stage turbine stator assemblies, P/N 868379-1 and -3, for weld penetration in accordance with the following schedule and replace, if necessary, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Garrett Turbine Engine Company ASB No. TPE331-A72-0559, dated July 1, 1987, ASB No. TPE331-A72-0559, Revision 1, dated September 4, 1987, or ASB No. TPE331-A72-0559, Revision 2, dated January 15, 1988, except those third stage turbine stator assemblies listed by serial number in Table 1 of those ASB's:


Hours TIS since New on September 14, 1987	Inspection Schedule
Unknown hours TIS	Inspect within 200 hours TIS after September 14, 1987.
5001 or more hours TIS	Inspect within 200 hours TIS after September 14, 1987.
4000 to 5000 hours TIS	Inspect within 500 hours TIS after September 14, 1987, or prior to accumulating 5200 hours TIS since new, whichever occurs first.
Less than 4000 hours TIS	Inspect prior to accumulating 4500 hours TIS since new.

NOTE: September 14, 1987, is the effective date of AD 87-19-02.
(i) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the initial compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office. The request should be forwarded through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office. NOTE: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this airworthiness directive, if any, may be obtained from the Los Angeles Aircraft Certification Office.
(j) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate the aircraft to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
(k) The remarking and one-time x-ray inspection shall be done in accordance with the following Garrett Turbine Engine Company Alert Service Bulletins:
