Accident · substantial damage
Nov 13, 1996 · Hana, HI
subsequent failure of the spur adapter gearshaft (SAG), after 'retaining ring to compressor impeller machining' occurred and allowed the SAG to shift aft. The mechanism which induced the ring to impeller machining was not determined. Mountainous terrain in the emergency landing area was a related factor.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
No ADs published since 1998 matched this airframe or engine model.
AI-extracted — verify against original. Matched from each AD's applicability section; ADs replaced by a later AD are left out.
