Disintegrated Drive Coupling

Ever wonder why the standby alternator or vacuum pump isn’t working? There is a drive coupling that is designed to break if something becomes stuck. They are also supposed to be replaced every 500 hours or they can start looking like this!

  1. Perhaps this is newer data than when you last looked, butTempest has a service letter, SL-001 which recommends replacement every 6 years.
    In our glass cockpits the standby alternaotr seems pretty important. That’s why we recommend 5 years.
