(a) EFFECTIVE DATE This AD is effective October 16, 2017. (b) AFFECTED ADS None. (c) APPLICABILITY This AD applies to Textron Aviation Inc.

(d) SUBJECT Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 29, Hydraulic Power. (e) UNSAFE CONDITION This AD was prompted by reports of hydraulic fluid loss from the engine driven pumps (EDPs) on three different airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking of the EDP that could cause leakage of hydraulic fluid and possibly lead to loss of normal hydraulic functions, which could lead to a high-speed runway overrun and/or an in-flight fire. (f) COMPLIANCE Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless al- ready done. (g) INSPECTION Within 100 hours time-in service (TIS) after October 16, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), inspect the airplane to determine if any affected serial number EDP, part number (P/N) 66179-01 (Beechcraft/ Textron P/N 390-389022-0003), is installed on the airplane following the Accomplishment Instructions in Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulle- tin SB 29-4161, dated November 18, 2016. Use table 1 in Parker Service Bulletin 66179-29-486, dated August 4, 2016, to identify the affected serial numbers of EDP, P/N 66179-01 (Beechcraft/Textron P/N 390-389022 -0003). (h) REPLACEMENT If any affected serial number EDP was found during the inspection re- quired in paragraph (g) of this AD, within 100 hours TIS after October 16, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), replace any affected serial number EDP, P/N 66179-01 (Beechcraft/Textron P/N 390-389022-0003), with a serviceable serial number EDP, P/N 66179-01 (Beechcraft/Textron P/N 390-389022-0003) that is either not listed in table 1 of Parker Service Bulletin 66179-29-486, dated August 4, 2016, or has been reworked following Parker Service Bulletin 66179-29-486, dated August 4, 2016. Use the Accomplishment Instructions in Beechcraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 29-4161, dated November 18, 2016, to do the replacement actions.
