A notice in response to Civil Aviation Authority Safety Notice Number: SN–2025/009
These units are normally sealed for life, however in a recent incident it was determined that a component within the unit had failed, indicating a loss of fuel pressure and resulting in significant consequences. The units are now up to 80 years old, and are subject to changes in the properties of the materials, which can cause failures.
Should this issue affect you, please get in touch with our team to discuss your options. Retrotec has been servicing similar small units for decades and our work will include replacement components with new-made parts to original specifications. We have the test equipment and this work is usually quoted at a fixed labour cost.
We can also supply overhauled and tested original units.
