In October 2009, October 2010 and eleven times from September 2011 to September 2012, low pressure fuel pump failures occurred on aircraft equipped with Thielert TAE 125-02-99 engines. These failures, while having different failure modes, all resulted in the loss of pump drive. The engine then stopped due to lack of fuel supply.
Event n°4:
The aircraft exited a 200 hr periodic inspection. During the taxiing after the 35min control flight, the left engine stopped. The drive of the low pressure pump was found broken.
