Reading Time:about 12 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule, replacing a previous Airworthiness Directive (AD) for certain Austro Engine GmbH Model E4 and E4P engines. This rule responds to piston failures due to a manufacturing defect, which could lead to a loss of engine power. The AD requires repetitive oil analyses and, if issues are found, the replacement of engine components or the engine core. This action aims to ensure the safety and effective performance of these aviation engines.
Simple Explanation
The FAA is making sure that certain airplane engines are working safely by checking the oil inside for problems and fixing any broken parts. These changes help keep planes safe and flying well.
