PW124 FUEL FLOW PROBLEM


  Note 1: The aircraft, an ATR 72, was returned after a 4-month dry leased. The first trend analysis we performed for the owner showed a fuel flow indication 100 pound above baseline.


Note 2: The fuel flow gauge was interchanged with the gauge from the opposite engine.


Note 3: This caused the erroneous indication to change from RH to LH engine.


Further troubleshooting revealed that the faulty fuel flow gauge was in fact a gauge for an ATR 42.


Note 4: After the gauge was replaced with an ATR 72 gauge the trend returned to the baseline values.
