1. Planning Information
A. Effectivity
(1) This is a CATEGORY 2, RELIABILITY service bulletin.
NOTE: CATEGORY 2 service bulletins address substantial improvements to
reliability, usually by reducing the probability of experiencing an in-flight
shutdown or substantial repair costs associated with unscheduled
maintenance events. The compliance schedule stated in this service
bulletin provides a reasonable reduction in risk while minimizing engine
downtime.
(2) This service bulletin is applicable to the FCA shown in Table 2.

3070800-28, -30, -37, -39, -47 and -49 20681
(3) The component(s) shown in Table 2 are used on turbofan aircraft engines. This service
bulletin is applicable to the serial numbers shown in Table 3.

NOTE:
1. Refer to Table 2 to determine FCA applicability.
B. Concurrent Requirements
(1) Not applicable.
C. Reason
(1) Problem:
(a) Some FCAs, PN 3070800, have experienced screw head separation of the
MM solenoid attachment screws. This condition can result in mechanical
interference with the PLA shaft, and a loss of engine thrust control. It can also
inhibit the ability to actuate the integral FCA mechanical fuel shutoff valve, and
can result in external fuel leakage from the FCA PLA shaft cavity. Additionally,
if manual mode operation is activated in combination with a manual mode
solenoid screw head separation, the potential exists for an uncommanded
engine acceleration. The engine will accelerate until the mechanical speed
governor in the FCA limits the engine N2 to approximately 104 percent speed.
(b) The root cause was determined to be an over-torque of the OS and MM
solenoid attachment screws during the FCA manufacture. However, any FCA
that was previously returned to the Honeywell Prince Edward Island R&O
facility for repair or maintenance has had the MM and OS solenoid attachment
screws replaced with new pre Service Bulletin TFE731-73-5146 part number
screws, and torqued to the correct values.
(2) Background:
(a) Honeywell has developed improved FCAs, PN 3070800-28, -30, -37, and
-47, identified with PL ISS 7, and FCAs, PN 3070800-69 and -79, that have
been manufactured with the solenoid attachment screws torqued to the
correct value. The improved FCAs also have improved MM and OS solenoid
attachment screws installed. The new screws have a slightly larger cross
sectional area near the screw head and shank area, and will improve the
durability of the solenoid attachment screws.
(3) Action:
(a) Install improved FCA, PN 3070800-28, -30, -37, and -47, identified with
PL ISS 7, or FCA, PN 3070800-69 or -79 (as applicable), that have been
manufactured with improved MM and OS solenoid attachment screws torqued
to the correct value, when the installed FCA is replaced for any cause (when
FCA is no longer serviceable) or modify the existing FCA at the next MPI or
CZI, whichever occurs first.
D. Description
(1) This service bulletin provides instructions to install improved FCA, PN 3070800-28,
-30, -37, or -47, identified with PL ISS 7, or FCA, PN 3070800-69 or -79 (as applicable).
E. Compliance
(1) Compliance addresses a substantial improvement to reliability.
(2) Honeywell recommends that this service bulletin be accomplished as follows:
(a) FCAs with a PL ISS number prior to PL ISS 7 that have a yellow Service
Information Plate installed, as shown in Figure 2, and FCAs Serial Numbers
20587 thru 20680 without a yellow Service Information Plate, have MM and OS
solenoid attachment screws torqued to the correct value. These FCAs meet
Type Design, are considered serviceable and can continue to be installed and
used on any applicable engine until the FCA is replaced for any cause (when
FCA is no longer serviceable). These FCAs will have the improved screws
installed at next replacement for cause. Do not sign-off compliance with

3. Accomplishment Instructions
A. General Information
B. Install Improved FCA, PN 3070800-28, -30, -37, or -47 (Must be Identified with “PL ISS 7”
on FCA Identification Plate), or FCA, PN 3070800-69 or -79 (as applicable)
NOTE: FCA, PN 3070800-28, -30, -37, and -47, must be identified with “PL ISS 7” on the
FCA identification plate. FCA, PN 3070800-28, -30, -37, and -47, not identified
with PL ISS 7 have not been modified to a post Service Bulletin TFE731-73-5146
configuration.
(1) Disassemble the engine, as required, to gain access to and remove the FCA, in
accordance with applicable aircraft maintenance manual and applicable engine light
maintenance manual instructions.
(2) Update the FCA Component Maintenance/Modification Log Card for the removed
FCA, and maintain with removed FCA when returning to Honeywell.
(3) Install replacement FCA, PN 3070800-28, -30, -37, -47, or PN 3070800-69 or -79 (as
applicable), in accordance with the applicable engine LMM instructions. For FCA, PN
3070800-28, -30, -37, and -47, make sure the FCA is identified with PL ISS 7 on the
FCA Identification plate. Refer to Figure 1 for example.
(2) If a yellow Service Information Plate is installed on the FCA, or for FCAs serial number
is 20587 thru 20680 without a yellow service tag, the solenoid attachment screws have
been torqued correctly and proactive compliance with Service Bulletin CHR1-73-0001
may be of limited benefit. Refer to Figure 2 to see location and example of yellow
Service Information Plate.
(3) Gain access to the FCA PLA cover in accordance with the applicable aircraft
maintenance manual and the engine LMM instructions.
(4) Replace the FCA MM and OS solenoid attachment screws and reidentify the reworked
FCA in accordance with Service Bulletin CHR1-73-0001.
(5) Reassemble engine in accordance with the engine LMM and applicable aircraft
maintenance manual instructions. Perform all required engine checks required for FCA
replacement in accordance with the applicable engine LMM instructions.
(6) Perform any additional FCA replacement checks in accordance with the aircraft flight
manual, and inspect for fuel leaks after engine tests.
(7) Check and ensure proper engine operation in accordance with the aircraft flight manual
and/or appropriate aircraft documents.
(8) Make an entry in the engine log book, and on the installed FCA Component
Maintenance/Modification Log Card, noting date of compliance, engine operating time,
part number(s) and serial number(s) of installed component(s) (as applicable), and
compliance with this service bulletin and, if applicable, Service Bulletin CHR1-73-0001
(and service bulletin revision numbers, if applicable).
(9) Complete the Certificate of Compliance form in Paragraph 4.B. and send to Honeywell.
