## Summary

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 79-20-08, which applies to all Great Lakes Aircraft Company, LLC, (Great Lakes) Models 2T-1A-1 and 2T-1A-2 airplanes with a Lycoming IO-360-B1F6 or AIO-360-B1G6 engine installed. AD 79-20-08 currently requires you to inspect the engine induction system and the alternate air door for any signs of damage and repairing or replacing any damaged components. AD 79-20-08 also requires you to inspect the induction system for the presence of a drain fitting. If the drain fitting is blocked, restricted, or does not exist, AD 79-20-08 requires you to clear the fitting or drill a hole in the elbow at the fitting location. This proposed AD is the result of the FAA inadvertently omitting Lycoming engine AEIO-360-B1G6 from the applicability section of AD 79-20-08. Consequently, this proposed AD would retain the actions required in AD 79-20-08 and add Lycoming engine AEIO-360-B1G6 to the applicability section. We are issuing this proposed AD to prevent the aircraft induction system from becoming blocked or restricted, which could result in engine failure. This failure could lead to loss of control of the airplane.
