While carrying out routine DVI and lubrication of thrust reverser drive shafts, RH thrust reverser half electromechanical lock brake drive shaft found broken. Flexi shaft appears to have been over torqued. Failed component replaced with electromechanical brake replaced as a precautionary measure. Occurrence taken as an isolated event with follow up reports to be monitored through reliability program.
IAE V2527A5 Engine (turbine/turboprop)—turbine engine incorrect assy. SDR 510023414
As per advice from Engine overhaul shop, some ESNs have been identified with incorrect installation of No2 bearing outer race. There is no on-wing action required and the issue will be tracked via Non-modification Service Bulletin (NMSB) due for release soon. P/No: V2527A5.
IAE V2527A5 Fuel controlling system—FADEC fault message. SDR 510023352
Aircraft performed a rejected take-off due to ECAM warning relating to Engine #1 EPR mode fault. Crew also advised of presence of smoke coming out from engine #1 whilst taxiing back to gate. Engineering attended and carried out an operational test of the Engine #1 FADEC system. Test passed successfully with nil faults. Subsequently and due to presence of smoke reported by crew, Engineering carried out an engine run, no smoke or smell from engine #1 was confirmed with all parameters normal.

PWA PW125B Turbine engine reduction gear—chip detector contaminated. SDR 510023462
Following a chip detector event on #1 engine, workshop analysis determined bearing material liberated that is used at 10 different locations within the RGB. RGB was decommissioned latter on and was never disassembled. Review of company’s reliability data shows contamination in excess of engine manual is isolated and associated risk is classified as low. Nil further reliability action.
Rolls Royce TAY65015 Engine (turbine/turboprop)—seal unserviceable. SDR 510023427
During take-off roll, upon advancing the Engine Throttles, Flight Crew encountered Engine # 2, High Engine Vibration Warning. As a result, the take-off was aborted at approximately 30 Knots. During the course of troubleshooting, following maintenance was done, 1. Fuel leak at pipe running between HP fuel pump and shut off valve was rectified by replacing the seals. Going further. 2. Engine hub and blade lubricated followed by vibration survey. 3. Torque check of engine bleed band with both aft and forward movement satisfactory. 4. FFR replaced. Further investigation into cause of engine vibration is continuing. P/No: KB16206.
