BEECH KING AIR A100 SDR # 20021115021
Engine Inlet De-ice Boot Overheated

While en route, a Beech 100 King Air was entering possible icing conditions. After approximately five minutes of
operating the engine de-icer boots, an odour was detected in the cockpit and they were turned off.
Upon inspection of the inlet de-icers, the right inlet boot was burnt to the extent that the elements were exposed and
the fibreglass inlet duct had a burn hole in it.
Further inspection revealed that the inlet duct was exposed to heat along half of the leading edge of the cowl,
weakening the fibreglass. Applicable repairs were carried out and a new inlet de-ice boot was installed. The system
circuit breakers were functionally inspected serviceable. Subsequently, the left inlet boot was inspected, and replaced
because of several small cuts or weathering cracks. It is suspected that these small cuts or cracks allowed moisture to
enter the heating element area of the boot, causing it to short out and burn.

Although de-ice boots are considered 'on condition' parts, Transport Canada (TC) reminds Aircraft Maintenance
Engineers (AMEs) to exercise vigilance and judgement when inspecting de-icer boots. Pre-emptive replacement of
de-ice boots during scheduled maintenance inspections can reduce aircraft downtime and eventually be more
cost effective.

Fuel Lines Chafed

Fuel line, P/N 05001183, was discovered chafed during 200-hour


inspection. It was determined that the fuel line was chafing on the
steering rod mount. The submitter added that this is a very
difficult area to inspect and extra care is required.

TC recommends close inspection of all lines in hard to see areas


which require extra time and attention. Always expect the
unexpected.

Elevator Controls Jammed

Origin of Nut
NAS 697A6 Elevator controls jammed on pre-flight function test.
Maintenance technicians carried out a complete system
inspection and found a nut, P/N NAS 697A6, stuck on
top of the elevator push rod at the bellcrank assembly
attachment. The nut was restricting elevator movement
towards the lower stop.
This nut originated from the vertical fin forward
installation bolt, P/N AN6-7A. The last suspected
removal and reassembly of the vertical fin (with new
nuts) was May 1990.
This stray nut appeared to remain undetected for
10 years!!

Brake Lines Chafed

L/H and R/H elevator control cables were found chafing the
hydraulic brake lines at F.S.178.00. This was the first time the
floor panel had been removed and this discrepancy is
believed to have occurred at the manufacturer. This area is
the location where hydraulic brake lines run laterally across
the flight control cables. Replacing both brake lines and
repositioning the two adjacent Adel clamps to provide
maximum clearance rectified the problem. The general area is
1.0 ft forward of cabin door under center floorboard.
This is a reminder to AMEs that new aircraft can also be
susceptible to improper clearance of hydraulic lines and
diligence should be taken during inspection.

DASSAULT FALCON 20D SDR # 20030612002


Engine Oil Pressure Transmitter Obstructed

While advancing the L/H power lever shortly after initiation of take-off roll, the pilot noticed a decrease in the left
engine oil pressure. The pilot successfully aborted the takeoff.
Following troubleshooting, the maintenance crew replaced the left engine oil pressure transmitter assembly,
P/N1-1346AA, carried out a satisfactory engine run-up and returned the aircraft to service.
Upon further investigation of the oil pressure transmitter assembly plumbing, the AME noticed remnants of Teflon
thread tape that had collected in a small orifice of an MS union, P/N MS21900-4. The operator stated that the source
of the Teflon tape might have originated from an outside component shop that previously pressure-tested the oil
pressure transmitter.
Teflon tape is often used on male tapered pipe threads to form a complete seal. However, if not applied correctly,
there is a danger of tape fragments being introduced into aircraft systems. Some manufacturers do not recommend
the use of Teflon tape. TC reminds AMEs to adhere to applicable manufacturer's instructions.

PIPER PIPER 31 350 SDR # 20030730002


Nose Landing Gear Housing Cracked

During a pre-flight inspection,


the nose landing gear trunnion
housing, P/N 40273-0, w a s
discovered cracked.
The crack was approximately
6 in from the right side steering
stop, and continued upwards
and to the back of the housing.
The crack probably progressed
to be visible on the previous
landing. The submitter added
that this type of cracking is the
result of over-steering or
excessive pull during ground
handling.

TC discovered 14 similar SDRs in the SDR database. All defects were caused by improper ground handling or
oversteering. The Piper 31 350 maintenance manual states under caution "not to turn the nose gear in either
direction beyond its 20-degree arc," because this will damage the nose gear and steering mechanisms. Control locks
must not be installed prior to towing. A placard is installed on the nose gear strut indicating turn limits. TC reminds
everyone involved in towing aircraft to follow manufacturer’s instructions when conducting ground-handling
operations.

AEROSPATIALE AS 350 SDR # 20030319002
Hydraulic Pressure Collective Cut-Off Switch Defective
The pilot was long-lining when suddenly the helicopter pitched up and
the controls became stiff. There was no horn (aural alarm), and the
low-pressure hydraulic light did not illuminate on the warning caution
advisory panel. The pilot immediately released the long-line and nosed Switch 12TW1-3
over the rotorcraft in order to gain some forward speed.
Guard, Switch
The pilot evaluated the problem, and as he neared a landing site, he
noticed that the collective mounted hydraulic pressure cut-off switch
was in the "off " position. He returned the switch to the "on" position
resulting in full restoration of hydraulic pressure and normal flight
control forces. Following the successful landing, maintenance
personnel determined that the hydraulic low-pressure switch was
defective.
It remains a mystery how the guarded collective mounted hydraulic
pressure cut-off switch was de-activated, given the pilot was not
wearing clothing that could have possibly snagged the switch. As a
precautionary measure, the collective mounted hydraulic cut-off switch
and the hydraulic low-pressure switch were replaced.
TC recommends that when conducting pre-flight checks, operators
ensure that the hydraulic pressure cut-off switch is positively set in the
desired position, given that the switch guard itself could be a visual
impediment. AMEs should include an inspection of the subject switch
to verify proper operation.
BELL 206A SDR # 20030409013
Vertical Fin Broken
While in cruise flight, the pilot of a Bell 206A noticed a yaw to the right. Upon landing, he also noticed that the tail
felt "twitchy." Following shutdown, it was noticed that the top half of the vertical fin (approximately midway) was
bent over to the right and held together by only the right hand outer vertical fin skin.
Further investigation revealed that a crack might have originated from a tooling hole located underneath the vertical
fin trailing edge (listed in the Bell IPB as P/N 206 020 113-055) where it attaches
to the vertical fin itself.
Manufacturers Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 206-01-73-1 specifies an
initial, followed by a recurring 25-hour inspection, thereafter until
compliance to Service Letter (SL) 206-203 is completed. Operators
are reminded that manufacturer's instructions for continued
airworthiness (ICA) apply only to their approved design. Operators
who obtain parts or service from a source not approved by the
manufacturer must ensure that the parts supplier provides special
inspection or maintenance procedures appropriate to ensure
adequate safety.
Please note that an aeronautical part that bears the part number of
the manufacturer may in fact have been altered, and may no
longer meet the original design criteria, and therefore may require
unique ICA which must be provided by the modifier of the part.
TC advises operators to comply with Service Bulletins, Service Letters
and Instructions issued by the manufacturer, and to obtain ICAs from
any supplier that is not original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
approved. Furthermore, it is recommended that operators and AMEs be
vigilant during inspection of the vertical fin area for cracks and other defects.

Winter is here…

Every winter there seems to be the inevitable occurrence when an aircraft, due to a contaminated tarmac, moves
forward during a maintenance ground run with the maintenance crew unsuccessful in their attempts to stop the
aircraft prior to striking obstacles. There are often casualties and the aircraft involved causes substantial damage.
Transport Canada (TC) encourages operators to review their maintenance organization engine ground run
training policies, procedures and authorizations. The training syllabus should include a demonstrated knowledge
and capability of the run-up crew to bring the aircraft to a stop under a variety of conditions. An otherwise
appropriately trained and experienced technician from the "sunny south" who has never experienced a tarmac
covered with snow and ice may not be familiar with the associated perils.
TC further cautions operators that only qualified personnel, in an appropriate area, clear of obstacles, should
perform engine ground run-ups.
When an aircraft under power looses its braking ability and begins to slide, things start happening fast.

Don't let this happen to you!

Blanking Caps Not Removed SDR # 20030620004

During an auxillary power unit (APU) replacement, maintenance discovered that the APU shroud fire agent discharge
fitting was capped. This would result in no fire-fighting capability. The cap was removed and the discharge line from
the bottle to the shroud was checked for obstruction. No further faults were found.
The agent discharge fitting is a simple AN bulkhead fitting and was probably temporarily capped along with the fuel
and other lines during a previous APU removal. When the APU was re-installed, the cap was overlooked as no
connections go to the fitting. The operator's maintenance provider indicated the last APU removal was approximately
3 years prior to the operator taking care and custody of the aircraft.
Caps, both plastic “push-on” and AN type are often used as effective blanking plates to prevent contamination of
open lines during maintenance. It is imperative that a thorough inspection for any temporarily installed blanking
devices be completed prior to operating the system or returning the aircraft to service. In this case, the removal of
the blanking cap was not necessary to re-install a line, and led to the latent failure of the APU fire suppression
system for three years!

Hydraulic Hoses Kinked SDR # 20030620006


Following flight departure, the flight crew reported that the nose gear unlocked; however, failed to retract.
Subsequent gear selections were unsuccessful until the air speed was reduced. The gear did retract at 160 knots
indicated airspeed (IAS); however, was very slow, and it was elected to return to base.
This anomaly is believed to date back to when the ski actuator was robbed to service another aircraft. Upon replacing
the ski actuator, the flexible lines leading to the actuator were installed incorrectly. The incorrect installation resulted
in the flexible hydraulic lines becoming crimped during gear retraction, culminating when the nose gear was reported
as slow to retract. These lines were found to have been installed incorrectly at that time. The lines were then correctly
installed and the aircraft dispatched. However, the snag later returned, causing the aircraft to turn back.
Maintenance was unable to confirm the fault during gear swings; however, it was felt that the original error might
have caused crimping of the Teflon within the lines, thereby causing a restriction. The aircraft was test-flown,
including an alternate gear extension, with no further problems noted.

Hydraulic lines that have been bent beyond normal limits should be thoroughly inspected or replaced.
