Tempest AGA-20291-PMA
The Tempest AGA-20291 (McCauley OEM A-20291) is an FAA-PMA replacement flyweight pin for McCauley applications.
- Supports stable RPM control by maintaining proper flyweight articulation and alignment in the speed-sensing assembly.
- Helps reduce hunting or sluggish response when worn pins create looseness, uneven motion, or abnormal friction.
- Commonly replaced during overhaul when inspection shows wear steps, scoring, corrosion, or poor fit in the flyweight pin interfaces.
Flyweight hardware is a core part of constant speed governing, especially in aviation where consistent RPM regulation and repeatable response are critical.
Installation notes
Always refer to the approved maintenance and overhaul manual for full installation guidance before starting work.
- Inspect flyweight bores, retainers, and contact surfaces for matched wear and replace components as required by the approved overhaul data.
- Confirm smooth flyweight movement after assembly and complete the required operational checks per approved maintenance data.
Applications and fitment
Used on McCauley governors where OEM A-20291 is specified. Confirm compatibility by matching the OEM part number and verifying governor model and serial number applicability in approved maintenance data.
Tempest AGA-20291 is the direct replacement for OEM A-20291. Match the OEM part number and confirm applicability by governor model and serial number in the approved maintenance data.
