An airplane engine manufacturer in Williamsport may be hit with a $60,000 fine imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA is proposing a $60,000 civil penalty against Williamsport-based Lycoming Engines for alleged violations of federal aircraft maintenance regulations, according to FOX56 WOLF TV, a news partner with the Sun-Gazette.
The FAA announced Wednesday that the allegations involve work performed on four Lycoming TEO-540-C1A engines in September 2024.
According to the agency, the company's aircraft repair station failed to follow the manufacturer's maintenance manual while working on the engines.
The FAA alleges Lycoming did not replace the engines' Exhaust Bypass Valve Assemblies as required before releasing the engines to return to service.
The agency did not say whether the alleged maintenance violations resulted in any incidents or safety problems involving the engines.
Lycoming Engines has 30 days to respond to the FAA's enforcement letter.
