Summary
EASA Safety Information Bulletin SIB No. 2008-51 is a safety advisory related to TCM Ignition Systems (formerly Bendix) Series D2000 and D3000 Dual Magnetos installed on Lycoming 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder reciprocating engines. The bulletin alerts owners and operators of aircraft equipped with these magnetos about potential attachment failures that could cause magneto separation from the engine, resulting in power loss. This advisory applies to aircraft certificated under CS/JAR/FAR Part 23 and registered in European Union Member States or associated countries.
What changed
This bulletin endorses the FAA Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin NE-08-26 and Lycoming Service Instruction 1508BB, highlighting the risk of magneto attachment failure. It does not introduce new regulations but supports existing FAA recommendations to ensure awareness and preventive action among European operators and maintenance organizations.
Why it matters
The potential separation of the magneto from the engine can lead to sudden power loss, posing a significant safety risk during flight. Aviation professionals, including operators and maintenance teams, need to be aware of this issue to prevent in-flight engine failures and ensure continued airworthiness of affected aircraft.
