February, 2015-

Winter flying in most parts of the United States can adversely affect flight operations. Poor weather conditions with fast moving fronts, strong and gusty winds, blowing and drifting snow, and icing conditions are just part of the conditions that require careful planning in order to minimize their effects. Operation in this environment requires special winter operating procedures.
These pages are designed to refresh the pilot's memory in cold weather operations. Pilots should assure themselves that they have obtained adequate cold weather knowledge appropriate to the aircraft used and the geographical and weather environment. Winter flying is not particularly hazardous if the pilot will use a little extra caution and exercise good judgment in analyzing weather situations.

The material presented here has been taken from many discussions of winter flying techniques with highly qualified pilots in various parts of the United States. The experience gained in accident investigations has also been included in this guide.
This guide contains ideas and possible courses of action for the pilots to keep in mind while operating aircraft during winter months. It is produced in connection with the Federal Aviation Administration, General Aviation Accident Prevention Program, as a reference for pilots desiring information on winter flying.

We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2011-23-01 for all Technify Motors GmbH (TMG) models TAE 125-01 and TAE 125-02-99 reciprocating engines with certain part number (P/N) and serial number (S/N) clutch assemblies installed. AD 2011-23-01 required replacement of certain P/N and S/N clutch assemblies. This AD requires the same actions but expands the population of affected P/N and S/N clutch assemblies. This AD was prompted by an additional report of a clutch assembly that malfunctioned due to disk springs that received a nonconforming heat treatment process. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the clutch assembly, which could lead to failure of the engine, in-flight shutdown, and loss of control of the airplane.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rockwell Collins TDR-94 and TDR-94D Mode select (S) transponders that are installed on airplanes.

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) advises aircraft operators, fixed base operators, FAA repair stations, flight standards district offices, and foreign civil aviation authorities that NATO grade F-24 jet fuel, as specified in NATO Standard AFLP–3747, 'Guide Specifications (Minimum Quality Standards) for Aviation Turbine Fuels (F-24, F-27, F-34, F-35, F-37, F-40, and F-44),' Edition A, Version 1, is acceptable for use on aircraft and engines certificated for operation with ASTM International D1655 grade Jet A fuel1, provided the fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) concentration in the specific batch of F-24 fuel meets the aircraft's operating limitations pertaining to FSII. Grade F-24 jet fuel meets all the performance requirements of D1655 grade Jet A fuel, but specifies a different FSII concentration range as compared to ASTM International D1655 grade Jet A fuel.

SAIB: FMS and GPS Equipment Advisory Vertical Guidance with no Published Vertical Descent Angle

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) alerts airframe manufacturers, navigation equipment manufacturers, and aircraft operators of any aircraft using Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs) without a published vertical descent angle. This SAIB is not intended to prevent or inhibit manufacturers from providing advisory vertical guidance on IAPs.

Standard Hardware, AN, MS and NAS Fasteners SAIB: HQ-14-16

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) informs the aviation industry of potential non-conforming Military Specifications (MS), Army Navy Standards (AN) and National Aerospace Standards (NAS) fasteners. The SAIB applies to manufacturers, owners, operators, and maintenance personnel of airplanes, rotorcraft, engines and appliances. This SAIB also asks the aviation industry to report fastener failures and other non-conformities. This bulletin focuses on MS 21042 nuts due to their wide usage in aviation, but is relevant to all other standard fasteners.
At this time, the airworthiness concern is not an unsafe condition and does not warrant an airworthiness directive (AD) action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 39. However, a significant number of past ADs noted possible unsafe conditions caused by non-conforming fasteners.

Landing Gear; Main Landing Gear (MLG) Actuator SAIB: CE-14-17

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin is to alert owners, operators, and maintenance technicians of Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Model 177RG and Reims Model F177RG airplanes of an airworthiness concern, specifically the need to inspect the MLG actuator rod end bearing to ensure that cracks are not present.

Landing Gear; Main Landing Gear (MLG) Torque Link SAIB: CE-14-19

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin is to alert owners, operators, and maintenance technicians of Cessna 300 and 400 Models and Series of an airworthiness concern, specifically the need to inspect the main landing gear (MLG) torque link assembly to ensure the correct thickness washers are installed and to ensure the washers are installed in the correct position.

SAIB: CE-13-45 Engine Exhaust; Tailpipe V-band Couplings

Cessna Service Bulletins Free Download Version

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) informs owners, operators, and maintenance personnel of turbocharged, reciprocating engine-powered airplanes about the potential for in-flight fire as a result of failure of the exhaust system V-band coupling securing the tailpipe to the turbocharger, the wastegate overboard, or any other exhaust system V-band coupling.


The FAA has issued airworthiness directives (AD) in the past concerning V-band couplings for specific airplane models. These ADs remain in effect where applicable. For those airplanes not affected by a V-band coupling AD, this airworthiness concern is not considered an unsafe condition at this time that would warrant AD action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 39.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company Model 500, 501, 550, 551, S550, 560, 560XL, and 650 airplanes. This AD was prompted by multiple reports of smoke and/or fire in the tailcone caused by sparking due to excessive wear of the brushes in the air conditioning (A/C) motor. This AD requires inspecting to determine if certain A/C compressor motors are installed and to determine the accumulated hours on certain A/C drive motor assemblies; repetitive replacement of the brushes in the drive motor assembly, or, as an option to the brush replacement, deactivation of the A/C system and placard installation; and return of replaced brushes to Cessna. We are issuing this AD to prevent the brushes in the A/C motor from wearing down beyond their limits, which could result in the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator causing sparks and consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no means to detect or extinguish the fire and/or smoke.

AD 2013-08-05 Cessna 525 Air conditioning compressor motors

Cessna Service Bulletins Faa

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft
Company (Cessna) Model 525 airplanes equipped with certain part number (P/N) air conditioning
(A/C) compressor motors. This AD was prompted by reports of smoke and/or fire in the tailcone
caused by brushes wearing beyond their limits on the A/C motor. This AD requires inspection of the
number of hours on the A/C compressor hour meter, inspection of the logbook, replacement of the
brushes on certain P/N A/C compressor motors or deactivation of the A/C system until replacement
of the brushes, and reporting of airplane information related to the replacement of the brushes. We
are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

We are revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for all Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 190, 195 (L-126A,B,C), 195A, and 195B airplanes that are equipped with certain inboard aileron hinge brackets. That AD currently requires you to repetitively inspect the affected inboard aileron hinge brackets for cracks or corrosion and replace them if cracks or corrosion is found. Replacement with aluminum brackets would terminate the need for the repetitive inspections. This new AD retains the actions of AD 2004-21-08 while requiring future compliance following a revised service bulletin that clarifies the casting numbers and part numbers to be inspected. This AD was prompted by reports of confusion between the casting number on the aileron hinge bracket and the part number (P/N) called out in the AD. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

SAIB: CE-13-27 Flight Controls – Frayed Flap Extend Cables

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) is intended to remind owners and operators of any airplane with cable-driven flight controls of the importance of adhering to existing inspection procedures in the applicable maintenance or shop manuals.
At this time, this airworthiness concern is not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant airworthiness directive action under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 39.

SAIB: Electrical Power System – Circuit Breaker Switch

This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) advises owners and operators of various
airplanes equipped with W31 series switch style circuit breakers (SSCB) manufactured by Tyco
or Potter Brumfield of an airworthiness concern.

Specifically, there have been known continued failures of these SSCBs on Cessna Aircraft Company
airplanes and Beechcraft Corporation (formerly known as Hawker Beechcraft Corporation) airplanes.
These circuit breaker switches may also be installed on other type certificated airplanes as well as
homebuilt airplanes.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company Model 750 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of loss of displayed airspeed. This AD requires inspecting certain logic modules to determine if certain cabin altitude/pitot static heater module assemblies are installed and replacing those assemblies with a new assembly; and revising the Non-Normal Procedures Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include procedures for resetting the pitot switch in the event of pitot heater failure and for total loss of airspeed indication. We are issuing this AD to prevent the loss of all displayed airspeed, which could result in reduced ability to control the airplane.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft
Company Models 172R and 172S airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of chafing of a new
configuration of the fuel return line assembly, which was caused by the fuel return line assembly
rubbing against the right steering tube assembly during rudder pedal actuation. This AD requires you
to install the forward and aft fuel return line support clamps and brackets; inspect for a minimum
clearance between the fuel return line assembly and the steering tube assembly and clearance
between the fuel return line assembly and the airplane structure; and, if any damage is found, replace
the fuel return line assembly. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these
products.
