Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Models PC-12 and PC- 12/45 airplanes. This AD requires modifying the generator 2 excitation by removing certain diodes and installing a new 5-amp circuit breaker and suppression filter. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Switzerland. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent damage to electrical components if the generator 2 is not switched off prior to engine shutdown and it overheats, which could result in loss of electrical power to certain critical airplane components.
