Abstract
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Technify Motors GmbH (type certificate previously held by Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH) TAE 125-02-99 and TAE 125-02-114 reciprocating engines. This AD requires removal of affected fuel feed pumps. This AD was prompted by reports of in-flight shutdowns on TAE 125-02 engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the fuel feed pump, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.
