Hi,
My question is related to the interval operating hours inspection for the propeller gearbox.
1 - Does this inspection need to be done at 600 hours or 1000 hours?
2 - Is my gearbox equipped with or without overload clutch?
3 - is there any SB (mandatory or not) to upgrade/downgrade the overload clutch PN?
4 - is there any documentation, specific to each engine, where is listed avery PN installed? (from manufacturer)
According to the manual (see picture), the inspection has to be done at 600 hours only if the installed overload clutch PN is 996886 and the use of leaded fuel is more than 30% of operation. I think the PN 996886 is not related nor installed to this specific engine, in adition, the use of leaded fuel stays way under the 30% (we use regular 95 octane fuel). Therefore, in my interpretation, I need to perform this inspection only at 1000 hours.
In addition, the only SB related to this matter, is the SB-912-033-UL which is only rekated to the engines version UL*3, and I have the ULS2.
