| FAA Airworthiness Directive: US2023-17-04 Reciprocating engine oil system - power loss due to oil starvation. |  The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022–04–04 for certain Continental Aerospace Technologies, Inc. (Continental) Model C–125, C145, IO–360, IO–470, IO–550, O–300, O–470, TSIO–360, and TSIO–520 series engines and certain Continental Motors IO–520 series engines with a certain oil filter adapter installed. AD 2022–04–04 required replacing the oil filter adapter fiber gasket (fiber gasket) with an oil filter adapter copper gasket (copper gasket). This AD was prompted by reports of two accidents that were the result of power loss due to oil starvation. This AD requires replacing the fiber gasket with a copper gasket or a stainless steel embedded within polytetrafluoroethylene gasket (stainless steel PTFE gasket). This AD also revises the applicability to include Continental model engines equipped with an F&M Enterprises, Inc. (F&M) or a Stratus Tool Technologies, LLC (Stratus) oil filter adapter installed. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Photo: Altitude Aviation Center | Very successful second Aerospace Heritage Day. | No less than 836 visitors were counted last Sunday, October 1, 2023, during the second edition of the Saint-Hubert/Longueuil Aerospace Heritage Day organized jointly at the Saint-Hubert airport by the Museum of Quebec aerospace and the City of Longueuil. During its visit to the facilities of the École nationale d'aéronautique, host and partner of the event, the public was able to discover several facets of the world of aerospace both at kiosks located in the agora of the School outside, where a static display of aircraft and airport snow removal vehicles had been organized. The very good weather was certainly a contributing factor to the success of this event.
