Marlborough, MA – April 12, 2021 – Approach Aviation announced a new set of tools designed for proper installation, removal and testing of alternator drive couplings found on many Continental Aerospace Technologies piston engines.
The alternator drive coupling plays an important role in engines with direct-drive, gear-driven alternators. The coupling provides a shear point; protecting the engine from damage should the alternator fail. However, it is imperative that the coupling be installed properly and inspected every 500 hours or any time that the alternator is removed from the aircraft. This critical component has been the subject of several Service Bulletins (SBs) and Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (SAIBs) because an out-of-tolerance or improperly installed coupling can lead to catastrophic engine failure.
