 AIRWORTHINESS
FAA DIRECTIVE
Aviation Safety
www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety/alerts/
www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html

2022-11-12 Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier Inc. and de
Havilland, Inc.): Amendment 39-22062; Docket No. FAA-2022-0284; Project Identifier MCAI-
2021-01369-A.

(a) Effective Date

This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective July 13, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

None.

(c) Applicability

This AD applies to Viking Air Limited (Type Certificate Previously Held by Bombardier Inc.
and de Havilland, Inc.) Model DHC-6-1, DHC-6-100, DHC-6-200, DHC-6-300, and DHC-6-400
airplanes, serial numbers 001 through 989, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 7600, Engine Controls.

(e) Unsafe Condition

This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated

by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as binding of the rod end bearing connecting the
lower fuel control unit (FCU) push rod assembly to the FCU power lever. The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could lead to the inability to reduce power on the affected engine, which could result in an
in-flight engine shutdown and reduced airplane control.

(f) Definitions

(1) For purposes of this AD, an “affected FCU pushrod assembly” is one of the following:
(i) Lower FCU push rod assembly part number (P/N) C6CE1398-7; or
(ii) Lower FCU push rod assembly P/N C6CE1398-3 with P/N VSC30-3A rod end bearing
installed.
Note 1 to paragraph (f)(1): P/N C6CE1398-7 may also be referred to as modification (MOD)
6/2347.
(2) For purposes of this AD, a “serviceable FCU push rod assembly” is lower FCU push rod
assembly P/N C6CE1398-9.
Note 2 to paragraph (f)(2): P/N C6CE1398-9 may also be referred to as MOD 6/2484.

(g) Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

(h) Required Actions

(1) Within 125 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD or within 30 days
after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, test each affected FCU push rod assembly
for binding and restriction in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs A.1.
through A.3., in Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter Service Bulletin No. V6/0063, Revision A, dated
February 1, 2021 (Viking SB V6/0063, Revision A).
(i) If there is any binding or restriction, before further flight, remove both affected FCU push rod
assemblies from service and install serviceable FCU push rod assemblies in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph A.4., in Viking SB V6/0063, Revision A, and the
Accomplishment Instructions, Sections A through C, in Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter Technical Bulletin
No. V6/00155, Revision NC, dated September 14, 2020 (Viking TB V6/00155, Revision NC).
(ii) If there is no binding and no restriction, before further flight, remove each affected FCU push
rod assembly, clean the push rod ends, and inspect each affected FCU push rod assembly for
corrosion and condition of the lubricant. Pay particular attention to the bearing ball and race.
(A) If there is no corrosion and the lubricant color and texture is normal, before further flight,
lubricate each affected FCU push rod assembly in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions,
Section C, in Viking SB V6/0063, Revision A.
(B) If there is corrosion or if the lubricant is abnormal in color (too dark) or texture (too sticky),
before further flight, remove both affected FCU push rod assemblies from service and install
serviceable FCU push rod assemblies in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions,
paragraph A.4, in Viking SB V6/0063, Revision A, and the Accomplishment Instructions, Sections A
through C, in Viking TB V6/00155, Revision NC.
(2) Repeat the requirements of this AD as follows until both affected FCU push rod assemblies
are replaced.
(i) Test and lubrication: At intervals not to exceed 125 hours TIS or before further flight anytime
the airplane has not been operated for a period of 30 days, whichever occurs first.
(ii) Inspection: At intervals not to exceed 1,500 hours TIS.
(3) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install an affected FCU push rod assembly on any
airplane.

(i) Credit for Previous Actions

You may take credit for the test, inspection, replacement, and lubrication required by paragraphs
(h)(1) and (2) of this AD if you performed those actions before the effective date of this AD using
Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter Service Bulletin No. V6/0063, Revision NC, dated June 7, 2019.
