Dodged it *AGAIN*!
Got the latest AD on the Lycoming O-540 in the mail the other day --
indigestion time once again. They have now expanded the "oh-crap" news to a whole bunch more O-540 owners. The Feds are worried that some of the zinc-coated Lycoming crankshaft gear retention bolts could fail -- which would be a potentially catastrophic problem. Luckily -- and it really is just sheer luck -- my engine was rebuilt in 2002 by a shop that used exclusively Superior (rather than Lycoming) parts -- so my gear retention bolts don't fall under this new AD. Man, that's THREE times I've dodged these O-540 ADs, thanks to our decision to use only Superior parts... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
