AD 2026-04-11 Lycoming Connecting Rod Bushings
The FAA has issued AD 2026-04-11 that supersedes AD 2024-21-02 for Lycoming engines with certain connecting rod bushings installed. This AD was prompted by several reports of connecting rod failures resulting in uncontained engine failure and in-flight shutdowns (IFSDs). The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent connecting rod failure. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in engine failure, an IFSD, and loss of control of the aircraft. This AD goes into effect on 8 April 26.
