What the agency says
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Lycoming Engines (Lycoming) model engines that have a certain connecting rod assemblies installed. This proposed AD was prompted by several reports of connecting rod failures, which resulted in uncontained engine failure and in-flight shutdowns (IFSDs). This proposed AD would require repetitive oil inspections for bronze metal particulates and, if found, additional inspections of the connecting rod bushings for damage, proper fit, movement, and wear, and replacement if necessary. As terminating action to the connecting rod bushing inspections, this proposed AD would require replacement of the connecting rod bushings with parts eligible for installation. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
