Casa HA200 engine damage






After a call from a owner of a CASA HA200 who had vibrations on his right engine, I went to look after the problem.

The turbine blades was damaged beyond repair, a cooper seal was replaced by a so called garlock seal between tail pipe and engine ( only on Casa Jets ) who was manufactured without testing it, was coming apart and letting hot exhaust gas out in the engine compartment who could create an engine fire with all the oil and fuel lines in the area, it was a good call from the owner because it coud end up to a worst end.


Conclusion: engine need to be replaced.


More investigation will be done to find the reason why the turbine blades was damaged.
