REPORTING COMPLIANCE SUSPENSE DATE - NO LATER THAN 29 OCT 99 IAW PARA 14A OF THIS MESSAGE. 4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM - A. BACKGROUND (1) IN 1995 THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE AN APU COMPRESSOR WHEEL BURST DURING START-UP (SEE REFERENCE 13A). THE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO FATIGUE WHICH ORIGINATED FROM BOLTHOLES ON THE BACK OF THE WHEEL (SEE REFERENCE 13B). THE DAMAGING FATIGUE CYCLES ARE INCURRED BY STARTING THE APU. (2) PREVIOUSLY, APU STARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RECORDED AND HAVE NOT BEEN MAINTAINED AND TRANSFERRED WITH THE APU. CURRENTLY, START CYCLES FOR A PARTICULAR COMPRESSOR WHEEL ARE ESTIMATED BASED ON THE HOURS LOGGED ON THE AIRCRAFT RECORDS. THE ESTIMATES USE FOUR APU STARTS FOR ONE FLIGHT HOUR. (3) APU'S OVERHAULED SINCE NOVEMBER 1996 WERE SUBJECT TO MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION OF THE COMPRESSOR WHEEL FOR FATIGUE CRACKS AND ARE GIVEN A ONE-TIME LIFE EXTENSION OF 2100 STARTS SINCE INSPECTION AT DEPOT (SEE "NOTE" IN PARA 9). ONLY APU'S SPECIFICALLY LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 9B BELOW ARE AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE UP TO 525 HRS OR 2100 STARTS SINCE INSPECTION (SSI). FUTURE APUS FROM DEPOT SHALL HAVE FORMS AND RECORDS REFLECTING THIS NEW RETIREMENT LIFE. (4) THE DATA FROM THESE INSPECTIONS INDICATE THAT WITH NO LIFE LIMIT, WHICH IS THE CURRENT SITUATION, THE T-62T-2B APU COMPRESSOR WHEEL HAS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPELLER BURST, UP TO THREE PIECES OF THE IMPELLER MAY EXIT THE APU RADIALLY. THESE PIECES WILL WEIGH UP TO 1.1 POUNDS EACH AND WILL BE MOVING AT EXTREMELY HIGH VELOCITY. (5) A NEW DESIGN HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR THE COMPRESSOR WHEEL WHICH WILL HAVE A GREATER FATIGUE LIFE. THE NEW WHEELS WILL BE INCORPORATED BY OLR TEAM USING MWO OR BY DEPOT. B. FOR MANPOWER/DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS SEE PARA 12. C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO IMPOSE A RETIREMENT LIFE ON APU COMPRESSOR WHEELS INSTALLED ON APU P/N 160150-10 OR 160150-100 AND STARTS SINCE INSPECTION (SSI) LIMITS FROM TIME OF DEPOT INSPECTION. ADDITIONALLY, THIS MESSAGE ADDS HISTORICAL RECORD REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL ALLOW TRACKING OF APU USAGE BY STARTS. IT ALSO IMPOSES RESTRICTIONS ON APU'S WITH NON-INSPECTED WHEELS. 5. END ITEMS AFFECTED - ALL CH-47D, MH-47D, AND MH-47E AIRCRAFT. 6. ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS TO BE INSPECTED T-62T-2B (APU), P/N 160150-10 OR 160150-100. 7. PARTS TO BE INSPECTED - N/A. 8. INSPECTION PROCEDURES A. INSPECT AIRCRAFT CONDITION CHANGE DA FORM 2408-16 TO DETERMINE TIME SINCE NEW (TSN) OF THE APU (BASED UPON AIRCRAFT FLIGHT HOURS). B. IF THE APU SERIAL NUMBER IS LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 9B BELOW, IT HAS A COMPRESSOR WHEEL WHICH WAS INSPECTED DURING DEPOT OVERHAUL. DETERMINE THE TIME IT HAS BEEN OPERATING SINCE THE INSPECTION. IF HOURS CANNOT BE DETERMINED, CONTACT EITHER 2410 HOTLINE (LISTED IN PARA 16D) OR LOGISTICAL POC (LISTED IN PARA 16B). NOTE ALL HISTORICAL RECORD DATA FOR APU HOURS REFERS TO AIRCRAFT OPERATING TIME, NOT APU OPERATING TIME. C. FOR TSN (8A ABOVE) AND TIME SINCE INSPECTED IF APPLICABLE (8B ABOVE), CALCULATE THE STARTS ACCUMULATED. MULTIPLY THE TSN AND THE AIRCRAFT TIME SINCE INSPECTED BY 4. THIS CALCULATED NUMBER OF STARTS BASED UPON APU TIME SINCE NEW WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THE LIFE LIMIT AND RESTRICTIONS AS STATED IN PARAGRAPH 9C BELOW AS WELL AS THE BASIS FOR RECORDING AND MAINTAINING APU STARTS IN THE FUTURE. THE TIME SINCE INSPECTED START NUMBER WILL BE USED TO ALLOW EXTENDED LIFE OF THE APU WHEEL BASED UPON THE INSPECTION AND PREDICTED CRACK GROWTH PROPAGATION. 9. CORRECTION PROCEDURES NOTE THE 5360 STARTS SINCE NEW MAY ONLY BE EXCEEDED IF THE APUS HAVE UNDERGONE NDI INSPECTION OF THE COMPRESSOR WHEEL. IN THIS CASE AN ADDITIONAL 2100 STARTS SINCE INSPECTION IS AUTHORIZED REGARDLESS OF THE ORIGINAL STARTS SINCE NEW. A. ANY APU EXCEEDING 5360 STARTS IS UNSERVICEABLE (1340 TIMES 4 EQUALS 5360) UNLESS A NDI INSPECTION OF COMPRESSOR WHEEL WAS PERFORMED AT OVERHAUL OR EXTENSION IS AUTHORIZED PER PARA 9B. B. THE FOLLOWING T-62T-2B APU'S HAVE AN OPERATING LIMIT OF 2100 STARTS SINCE INSPECTION (SSI) (525 HOURS TIMES 4 EQUALS 2100 STARTS). FOR APUS LISTED USE EITHER STARTS SINCE NEW (5360) OR STARTS SINCE INSPECTION (2100) TO ESTABLISH THE LIMIT WHICHEVER YIELDS THE GREATER REMAINING LIFE. 827502 827503 827504 827514 827516 827517 827523 827528 837504 837508 837509 837511 837515 837519 837520 837523 837524 837525 847504 847507 847509 847512 847514 847515 847516 847519 847520 847523 847802 850606 857501 857519 857525 857529 857538 857540 857546 857548 857555 857565 857566 857567 857571 867501 867502 867503 867506 867508 867516 867519 867527 867532 867533 867535 867545 867548 867558 867591 867559 877501 877502 877505 877507 877508 877509 877525 877528 877529 877535 877539 877552 877556 877557 877562 877563 877564 877570 877572 887507 887511 887514 887528 887530 887533 887536 887543 887556 887557 887558 897507 897509 897511 897514 897517 897520 897521 897524 897526 897537 897539 897546 897547 897549 897550 897561 897564 897568 897569 897570 897572 897575 897583 910004 910010 920074 920077 920115 920119 930135 930138 930152 930167 930168 930191 930199 A00001 A00002 A00003 A00014 A00028 A00029 A00031 A00050 A00053 A00066 A00059 A00060 A00067 A00077 A00082 A00083 A00095 A00104 SP-E910004 SP-E910010 SP-E920077 SP-E920093 SP-E920119 SPE-930135 SP-E930136 SP-E930145 SP-E930146 SP-E930158 SP-E920130 SP-E930137 SP-E93167 SP-E930168 SPE930170 SP-E930191 SP-E930199 IN ADDITION, COMPRESSOR WHEELS INSPECTED IN THE FUTURE WILL BE IDENTIFIED WITH A SERIAL NUMBER SUFFIX OF //IW//.
