NOTICE: Incomplete review of all the information in this document can cause errors. Read the entire Service Instruction to make sure you have a complete understanding of the requirements.

This Service Instruction provides Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA).

Engines and crankshafts affected by AD 2012-19-01 are required to have the crankshaft replaced at next overhaul, separation of the crankcase, or no later than 12 years from the time the affected crankshaft entered service in accordance with the current Air worthiness Directive (AD). Any engines that remain in-service and are affected by AD 2012-19-01 and not yet in compliance with AD 2012-19- 01 have the operating hour Time Between Overhaul (TBO) listed in the latest revision of Service Instruction No. 1596 u ntil the crankshaft is replaced. These engines have no TBO extensions until compliance with the AD is accomplished and are not eligible for the TBOs listed in this publication.

This Service Instruction identifies the Calendar Time Period in years and the Operating Hour Time Period in hours of engine operation for the Time Between Overhaul for certified Lycoming engine models operated and maintained in compliance with all applicable Lycoming Technical Publications and FAA Airworthiness Directives.

The TBOs and TBO Extensions stated in this Service Instruction do not apply to engines that:

FAA-PMA PARTS OR FAA-STC FUELS OR LUBRICANTS ARE APPROVED BY

THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINSTRATION AND NOT BY LYCOMING ENGINES.

Engine accessories and propellers can require overhaul prior to engine overhaul. TBO extensions authorized by this Service Instruction do not alter any engine accessory or propeller manufacturer’s recommended overhaul schedule. Overhaul accessories and propellers in accordance with the appropriate manufacturer’s recommendation.

The information in this revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1009 is approved by the FAA as an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) for AD-2012-19-01, paragraphs (f)(1)(i) and (f)(2)(i).

This Service Instruction is based on the engine being active in a 30-day period. If it is known that an engine is to remain inactive for 30 or more days, refer to the latest revision of Service Letter L180.

CALENDAR TIME PERIOD TBO All engine models are to be overhauled within twelve (12) calendar years of the date they first entered service or of last overhaul. This calendar year time period TBO is to mitigate engine deterioration that occurs with age, including corrosion of metallic components and degradation of non -metallic components such as gaskets, seals, flexible hoses and fuel pump diaphragms.

CAUTION CALENDAR YEAR TBO IS BASED ON ACCELERATED TESTING AND OVERALL FLEET SERVICE DATA. LOCAL CLIMATE CONDITIONS, STORAGE

CONDITIONS, FREQUENT EXTENDED PERIODS OF INACTIVITY,

PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES USED DURING INACTIVE PERIODS, AND

FREQUENCY OF OIL CHANGES CAN AFFECT CORROSION OF METALS AND DEGRADATION OF NON-METALS AND MAY RESULT IN A REDUCED TBO.

ISSUED REVISED PAGE NO. REVISION S.I. 1009MO DAY YEAR MO DAY YEAR 3 of 8 BF 05 27 60 07 20 26 For FAA Part 91 or EASA Part NCO (non-commercial) or equivalent operations, only an appropriately rated and qualified maintenance person (or international equivalent) can allow the twelve (12) calendar year TBO to be exceeded with concurrence from the controlling civil aviation authority to verify agreement with this provision and after thoroughly examining the engine for corrosion and degradation in accordance with 14 CFR 43 Appendix D (or international equivalent) and determining that the engine remains in an airworthy condition. This inspection is to be repeated annually or as necessary to ensure continued airworthiness. The twelve (12) calendar year TBO must not be exceeded if the engine is affected by AD 2012-19-01 and not in compliance with AD 2012-19-01.

WARNING OPERATION OF AN ENGINE IN A NON -AIRWORTHY CONDITION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE, SERIOUS INJURY, AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

ENGINES ARE NOT TO BE OPERATED BEYOND 12 YEARS UNLESS CERTIFIED AS AIRWORTHY BY QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. ENGINES

THAT FAIL TO OPERATE WITHIN LYCOMING'S PUBLISHED OPERATING

SPECIFICATIONS OR THAT SHOW ANY EVIDENCE OF CORROSION, WEAR,

DAMAGE, OR OTHER CONDITION AFFECTING AIRWORTHINESS MUST BE

IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND OVERHAUL ED PER LYCOMING TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS.

OPERATING HOUR TIME PERIOD TBO Operating Hour TBOs for fixed wing aircraft are in Table 1 and rotary wing aircraft are in Table 2. These TBOs are to mitigate engine deterioration that occurs during normal operation such as wear and high cycle fatigue of metallic components.

CAUTION OPERATING HOUR TBOS ARE BASED ON ACCELERATED TESTING AND OVERALL FLEET SERVICE DATA. BECAUSE OF VARIATIONS IN THE MANNER

IN WHICH ENGINES ARE OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, AS WELL AS THE

TYPE OR ENVIRONMENT OF OPERATION SUCH AS AEROBATICS OR

AGRICULTURAL CROP DUSTING OR OTHER AERIAL CHEMICAL

1. Only engines built with 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) dia. exhaust valve stems. Engines of this series with 7/16 in. (11.1 mm) dia. exhaust valves must not exceed 1200 hours between overhauls regardless of the type of operation. New and rebuilt engines built with 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) dia. exhaust valve stems are identified, respectively, by serial numbers and date in the latest revision of Service Instruction No.

1136.

2. These engines are designed to incorporate exhaust turbocharging.

3. Turbochargers could require removal, prior to engine overhaul, for carbon removal and repair.

4. Engines with reverse rotation have same overhaul times as corresponding normal rotation engines.

5. 1200 HOURS: Engines that do not have large main bearing dowels must not be operated more than 1200 hours between overhauls.

1400 HOURS: Engines that have large main bearing dowels can be operated to 1400 hours between overhauls. These include engines with serial numbers L -7100-51A and up, and L -101-67A and up;

engines which are in compliance with the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. 326; and remanufactured engines shipped after January 26, 1970.

2000 HOURS: Engines that have large main bearing dowels and redesigned camshafts can be operated to 2000 hours between overhauls. These include engines with serial numbers L -9762-51A and up; IO-360-C1E6 engines with serial numbers L-9723-51A and up; LIO-360-C1E6 engines with serial numbers L-524-67A and up; engines that are in compliance with the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. 326 and Service Instruction No. 1263. Rebuilt engines shipped after October 1, 1972, can be operated to 2000 hours between overhauls except those with serial numbers L -2349-51A and L - 7852-51A which do not have the redesigned camshaft and must not exceed 1400 hours of operating time between overhauls.

6. The reliability and service life of engines can be detrimentally affected if they are repeatedly operated at alternating high and low power applications which cause extreme changes in cylinder temperatures.

Flight maneuvers which cause engine overspeed and/or significant fluctuations in oil pressure also contribute to abnormal wear characteristics that tend to shorten engine life. These factors must be considered to establish TBO of aerobatic engines; therefore, it is the responsibility of the operator to determine the percentage of time their engine is used for aerobatics and establish TBO for their engine.

On-condition inspection is mandatory to assess and determine the health and continued airworthiness of the engine. The maximum TBO is the time specified in this instruction.

7. TIO-540-C Series engines with serial numbers L-1754-61 and up, TIO-540-C Series engines that were rebuilt or overhauled at Lycoming Engines, Williamsport, PA after March 1, 1971 , and TIO-540-C series engines that have been modified to incorporate large main bearing dowels as described in the latest revision of Service Instruction No. 1225 can be operated to 2000 hours. Engines that do not incorporate this modification must not exceed 1500 hours between overhauls.

8. VO, TVO and TIVO -540 engines built with P/N 77450 connecting rods as described in the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. 371 can be continued in service to 1200 hours. Engines that do not incorporate this new connecting rod are restricted to 1000 hours for VO-540 models and 900 hours for TVO and TIVO-540. See the latest revision of Service Bulletin No. 371 for improved connecting rod assembly.

9. TIO-541-E series engines with serial numbers L -804-59 and up, rebuilt engines shipped after March 1, 1976, and all engines that incorporate the improved crankcases and cylinder assemblies described in the latest revision to Service Bulletin Nos. 334 and 353 can be operated for 1600 hours before overhaul. Engines not in compliance with these requirements are limited to a 1200-hour TBO.

10. Some engines in the field have been altered to incorporate an inverted oil system in order to perform aerobatic maneuvers. Whenever this modification is done to an engine, the TBO of the engine must be determined in the same manner listed for AEIO engines of the same model series. See Note 6.

11. If an engine is being used in “frequent” type service, by accumulating a minimum total of 120 hours in every rolling 90-day period since being placed into service, with no individual 30-day period having less than 20 hours of operation, add 200 hours to TBO time.

12. To qualify for the 2400 hour TBO, high-compression, O-235 engines must have the increased strength pistons (P/N LW-18729). See the latest revision of Service Letter No. L213.

13. The high-compression O-235-F, -G and -J series do not have the increased-strength pistons (P/N LW- 18729); therefore, they do not qualify for the 2400 hour TBO.

14. TIO-540-A series engines with serial numbers L-1880-61 and up, TIO-540-A series engines that were rebuilt or overhauled at Lycoming Engines, Williamsport, PA after March 1, 1971 , and TIO-540-A series engines that have been modified to incorporate large main bearing dowels as described in the latest revision of Service Instruction No. 1225 can be operated to 1800 hours. Engines that do not incorporate this modification must not exceed 1500 hours between overhauls.

15. A 200-hour extension to the listed TBO can be applied to Lycoming Factory Overhauled engine models. Engine repairs or field overhauls that are performed by any entity other than the Lycoming Factory in Williamsport PA must meet all of the following requirements to be eligible for this 200 - hour TBO extension:

a. Be performed using ONLY Lycoming genuine parts and parts expressly listed in the engine type certificate data sheet or applicable Lycoming Service Documents.

b. Be performed using ONLY Lycoming approved procedures.

c. Block 12 of FAA form 8130 -3 or international equivalent must indicate the repair or overhaul was performed using ONLY Lycoming approved procedures and Lycoming genuine parts and/or parts expressly listed on the type certificate data sheet or applicable Lycoming Service Documents.

A repair or overhaul performed using any FAA approved local shop procedures or using FAA-PMA parts not approved by Lycoming is not eligible for this 200-hour TBO.

16. When NOTE 15 is referenced with NOTE 11 for engine models in Tables 1 and 2, and the conditions of both NOTES are met, the sum of the extended TBO hours in both NOTES 11 and 15 can be added to the required TBO, thus extending the TBO a total of 400 hours.
