This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) alerts you, registered owners and operators of small airplanes, to follow established safety criteria, guidance, and data when modifying your aircraft with tires that are oversized compared to the original equipment Federal Aviation Administration- (FAA-) approved type design. Oversized tires have been FAA approved by supplemental type certificates (STC) and field approvals on numerous small aircraft types for an assortment of reasons, such as maintaining ground clearance when installing larger propellers or improving landing performance for unique conditions. These oversized tires have customarily been referred to as “Tundra” tires.
At this time, the FAA has determined that this airworthiness concern is not an unsafe condition that would warrant airworthiness directive (AD) action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 39. Investigation of a recent accident highlights the need for reminding operators of part 23 certificated airplanes that oversized tire modifications require analysis and substantiation as well as periodic inspections to prevent unsafe conditions. This SAIB reiterates the criteria to apply when evaluating the use of oversized tires and for determining the appropriate requirements to obtain necessary FAA approval.

We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Lycoming
Engines (L)O-360, (L)IO-360, AEIO-360, O-540, IO-540, AEIO-540, (L)TIO-540, IO-580, and IO-
720 series reciprocating engines. That AD currently requires replacing certain crankshafts in the
affected engines. This AD continues to require replacing certain crankshafts, corrects the start date of
affected engine models in Lycoming Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. 569A to the start date in
Supplement No. 1 to Lycoming MSB No. 569A, dated May 27, 2009, and includes additional
(formerly experimental) IO-390, AEIO-390, and AEIO-580 series engine models having affected
crankshafts. This AD was prompted by Lycoming Engines discovering that the start date of affected
engine models in MSB No. 569A is incorrect and the need to include additional engine models
having the affected crankshafts. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the crankshaft, which
will result in total engine power loss, in-flight engine failure, and possible loss of the aircraft.
