The AD requires that the action set out in the requirement section (being action that the delegate considers necessary to correct the unsafe condition) be taken in relation to the aircraft or aeronautical product mentioned in the applicability section: (a) in the circumstances mentioned in the requirement section; and (b) in accordance with the instructions set out in the requirement section; and (c) at the time mentioned in the compliance section.

 AlliedSignal (Lycoming) Turbine Engines - ALF502 and LF507 Series

 AD/ALF/14
 Amdt 3

 Engine Oil System Health Monitoring 8/2001

           Applicability:  AlliedSignal ALF 502L, ALF502R, and LF507 series engines installed in Canadair CL-600, BAe 146, and Avro RJ series aircraft.

             Requirement: 1. Carry out oil system health monitoring in accordance with AlliedSignal Service Bulletins (SB) LF 507-1H 79-5, LF507-1F 79-5, ALF502L 79-0171, and
             ALF502R 79-9 for LF507-1H, -1F, ALF502L and ALF502R series engines as appropriate.

             Where the service bulletins require:

(a)   magnetic chip detector (MCD) debris be left to accumulate on the detector for assessment of a debris accumulation rating, it is permissible to remove the MCD debris for material analysis provided a record of debris accumulation is kept for subsequent assessment per the service bulletin requirements,

(b)  a scavenge oil temperature check be carried out, it is permissible to use the procedures specified in the respective aircraft maintenance manuals in lieu of those specified in the service bulletins.

             Incorporation of an improved No.4 bearing configuration as per Honeywell (formerly AlliedSignal) SB ALF/LF 72-1030, Revision 3, dated 3 April 2001 or
             SB ALF/LF 72-1040, Revision 2, dated 3 April 2001 (as applicable) is a terminating action for Requirement 1 of this Directive (Refer AD/ALF/17). Upon incorporation of the improved bearing configuration, on-going oil system monitoring reverts to the respective aircraft manufacturer's maintenance requirements.

             2. For ALF502R series engines equipped with oil filter by-pass valve, P/No 2-303- 432-01, replace or modify the oil filter by-pass valve in accordance with Avco Lycoming Textron Service Bulletin ALF502R-79-0162, Revision 2.

           Note 1: CAA (UK) AD 002-09-96 and FAA AD 2000-05-14 refer.

           Note 2: Incorporation of earlier versions of SB ALF/LF 72-1030 or SB ALF/LF 72- 1040 (as applicable) is also terminating action for Requirement 1 of this Directive.
