PLANNING INFORMATION A. EFFECTIVITY Slingsby T67 Firefly T67B, T67C Series, T67M, T67M Mkll, T67M200, T67M260. B. CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None C. REASON A case has been reported of the failure of a brake master cylinder pivot pin part number T67M-45- 539 (Figure 1). Two of these pivot pins are fitted per aircraft, one to the #1 pedal assembly and one to the #4 pedal assembly. The operator reported hearing a breaking noise from the rudder pedal area during taxying. An investigation was carried out and it was discovered that the brake master cylinder pivot pin had broken on the #4 pedal assembly. The pin was broken between the threaded section and the larger central barrel (Figure 2). The surface of the broken material was found to be dull, indicating a possible fatigue related fracture. Unrelated to the pivot pin failure instances of dimensional differences to the brake master cylinder pivot pin design have been discovered (Figure 3). D. DESCRIPTION This Service Bulletin (SB) details the examination for damage and dimensional inconsistencies to the brake master cylinder pivot pin. E. COMPLIANCE (1) Classification Essential (2) Accomplishment Timescales At next 50 flying hours scheduled inspection or 6 months, whichever occurs first. Thereafter at each annual inspection in conjunction with SB187 or SB188 as applicable. F. APPROVAL Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group EASA Design Organization Approval No EASA.21J.181.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES WARNING: OBEY ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE PRACTICES. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS WARNING THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT. (1) Observe all safety procedures. (2) All engineering and local procedures are to be observed whilst embodying this Service Bulletin. (3) After inspection ensure aircraft is clean and clear of tools and miscellaneous equipment and any removed parts are replaced. B. PREPARATION Prior to proceeding, ensure that the Service Bulletin has been read in its entirety and is understood. C. INSPECTION (1) Rudder pedal assembly #1: (a) Remove rudder pedal stop screw (1) and slide assembly aft from its housing. (b) Remove and discard locking wire (2). (c) Remove the split pin (3) and washer (4). Discard split pin. (d) Slide off lower inner bracket from main brake cylinder pivot after removing bracket, attached with 2 off socket head screws. (e) Displace brake cylinder (5) inboard to clear top pivot. (f) Remove pivot pin (6) by unscrewing. NOTE: The pivot pin is bonded in position. MARSHALL AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE GROUP SERVICE BULLETIN SBM 200 Mar 15 Page 4 of 8 (g) Carry out visual inspection of brake master cylinder pivot pin for damage, cracks or distortion (Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2). (h) Carry out visual inspection for dimensional accuracy of threaded portion of the brake master cylinder pivot pin (Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3). (Ensure that threaded portion is 5 mm in length, and adjacent shank is 2.5 mm in length). (i) Carry out NDI (fluorescent dye penetrant), using local regulations, of the brake master cylinder pivot pin threaded portion and shank where it enters the central barrel. (j) If any damage, crack or distortion to the brake master cylinder pivot pin is discovered or the pivot pin fails the dimensional requirement then it is considered to be unserviceable and is to be replaced. (k) If no damage, crack or distortion to the brake master cylinder pivot pin is found and the pivot pin meets the dimensional requirements, re-assemble in reverse of the removal procedure, using a new split pin. The pivot pin (6) is bonded in position using Loctite 222. Ensure that wire-locking does not foul on any adjacent structure or components.
