ENGINE, TURBINE SECTION - INSPECTION OF ROLLS-ROYCE
M250-C20, C20B, OR C20R/2 3RD-STAGE (23065818) AND
4TH-STAGE (23055944) ENHANCED POWER TURBINE WHEELS
1.
PLANNING INFORMATION
A.
Effectivity
(1)
Engines
All Rolls-Royce M250 -C20, C20B, or C20R/2 engines or turbines fitted with the Enhanced
Power Turbine, or 3rd-stage turbine wheel (23065818) or 4th-stage turbine wheel (23055944)
that is installed and operated in, or has ever been installed or operated in a M250-C20, C20B,
or C20R/2 engine installed in an MD 69HE, 369HS, 369HM, 369D, 369E, or 500N aircraft.
(2)
B.
Reason
The cause of recent incidents is failure of the 3rd-stage turbine wheel (23065818) or 4th-stage
turbine wheel (23055944). Testing and analysis shows operation in the N2 speed avoidance range
to be the most possible cause. Refer to the most current revision of CEB A-1400 (CEB A,.. 72-4095)
for the speed avoidance range. CEB A-1400 (CEB A-72-4095) caused changes in the applicable
MD Helicopters Rotorcraft Flight Manual for Model 369 (50d) and SOON (520N) aircraft. Inspection
of some 3rd-stage and 4th-stage turbine wheels installed in Rolls-Royce Model M250-C20, C20B,
or C20R/2 engines (installed in MD 369 (500) and 500N (520N) aircraft) is necessary. The
inspection includes a visual and Non-Destructive Test (NDT) inspection for cracks in all of the
turbine blades.

inspection of all applicable 3rd-stage and 4th-stage turbine wheels for cracks in the turbine blades.
Approval
Technical aspects are FAA approved.
E.
Compliance
Compliance Code 2.
(1)
To be complied with at each 1750 hour gas producer turbine wheel replacement.
Compliance Code 4.
(2)
F.
To be complied with any time the turbine module is at an authorized repair/overhaul facility and
