McCauley A-20139, Unfeather Ball Spring - Tempest PMA
Tempest AGA-20139-PMA
The Tempest AGA-20139 (McCauley OEM A-20139) is an FAA-PMA replacement unfeather ball spring for McCauley applications.
- Supports reliable unfeather operation by restoring the correct spring force specified for the unfeather mechanism.
- Helps address unfeathering symptoms such as inconsistent engagement or sluggish return when inspection finds weakened, corroded, or distorted springs.
- Common overhaul replacement due to spring fatigue, corrosion risk, and the importance of consistent force in the unfeather circuit.
Unfeather system reliability is especially important for multi engine aircraft maintenance and dispatch readiness.
