All new, overhauled or rebuilt nose struts may have brown oil leaking onto the piston, and possibly the tire for a short time after installation. This does not indicate a leaking strut. This brown oil is coming from the lubrication pad that is saturated in an appropriate lubricating oil per the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM), during overhaul or rebuild. The lubrication pad will only hold a certain amount of oil and will release all excess oil, which can make the strut appear to be leaking. This leakage is to be expected, especially if the pad is over saturated. Some mechanics have lightly squeezed the lubrication pad after saturating it to attempt to remove excess oil. This, however, can remove more oil than intended and it is not recommended.
If a nose strut has this condition, wipe off the excess oil and protect the tire until the leaking stops. If it is determined that red 5606 hydraulic oil is leaking from the strut, investigation is required before further flight.
ATA 33 – Cabin Floor Spar Light Spares Replacement Kit
FL-1 through FL-910; FM-001 through FM-055; FA-001 through FA- 231; FF-001 through FF-019
The manufacturer of the spar lights installed in the King Air 300/B300 series announced that they will no longer be supplying the spar lights. Textron Aviation has developed a kit as a spares replacement for these lights. The kit is required because the replacement spar lights require a change in connectors. The kit comes with two LED spar lights and all the instructions to complete the installation. The part number of the kit is 130-3068-0001.
ATA 79 – King Air C90A; C90GT & F90 Drain Oil Hose Spares Replacement Kit
LJ-1063 through LJ-2096; LA-2 through LA-236
The King Air C90A, C90GT and F90 have a requirement to replace oil drain hose part number 109-389009-1 every five years. This hose is very expensive. Textron Aviation has developed a new hose which is less expensive. The new hose can be installed via kit P/N 90-9096-0001. The kit is required because there is a slight variation to the installation and routing of the new hose. The kit provides the parts and information for both engines.
