Amdt 1

Engine Rear Mount Strut 10/2001

Applicability: DHC-8 aircraft, Models 102, 103, 106, 201, 202, 301, 311, 314, and 315, with serial numbers 003 through 517; equipped with engine rear mount struts, part numbers 87110016-003, -005, -007, -009, -011, or 8DK1763-001.

Requirement: Perform a detailed visual inspection for cracks in the affected engine rear mount strut assemblies listed in the Applicability part of this Directive, on both the left and right engine nacelles.

Replace cracked struts before further flight.

Replacement of both engine rear mount struts in a nacelle with the new machined struts, part number 87110047-001, terminates the repetitive inspection requirements of this Directive for that nacelle only.

Note 1: Termination of the repetitive inspections as specified in this Directive does not alter the operator’s approved maintenance program for these rear mount struts.

Note 2: Transport Canada AD CF-2001-20 refers.

Compliance: Initially, within 1,000 hours time in service since new or within 250 hours time in service after 4 October 2001, whichever occurs later, unless already accomplished.

Subsequently, repeat at intervals not to exceed 250 hours time in service.

The installation of one new machined strut, part number 87110047-001, in a nacelle, increases the repeat inspection interval to 500 hours time in service for that nacelle only.

This Amendment becomes effective on 4 October 2001.
