Airworthiness Directives; Kelly Aerospace Energy Systems, LLC Rebuilt Turbochargers

Resumen

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Kelly Aerospace Energy Systems, LLC (KAES) rebuilt turbochargers. This AD requires removal from service of certain part number (P/N) and serial number (S/N) rebuilt turbochargers. This AD results from three reports of infant mortality turbine wheel failure in rebuilt turbochargers, since June of 2007. We are issuing this AD to prevent separation or seizure of the turbocharger turbine, which could result in full or partial engine power loss, loss of engine oil, and smoke in the airplane cabin.
