Kim:

I subscribe to Adlog, so I get AD updates. But I don't remember getting AD 05-12-06, so I'm under the impression that AD 96-12-07, including the 500-hr recurring inspection of the impulse-coupling assembly, still applies to the Bendix mags on my engines. I called Adlog, they faxed me the 2005 AD and it seems to cover only magnetos installed on Lycoming 540-series engines, not our IO 360 engines. In any event, the 500-hr recurring inspection is still required under the new AD. Am I reading this wrong?

Also, in your fleet, do your A&Ps do the impulse-coupling inspection or do you send them out to a magneto shop?

Thanks,
Ernie
