A SAAB 340B HAD THE CONSTANT TORQUE ON TKOF AND AUTO PWR RESERVE SYS DEFERRED PER THE MEL. LATER FOUND #1 AND #2 ENG CONDITION LEVERS OUT OF RIG.

Narrative

ON JUN/THRU/04; AT APPROX XA00 I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL HERE IN MAINT CTL. IT WAS FROM ZZZ MAINT. THEY STATED THE CTOT (CONSTANT TORQUE ON TKOF) SYS AND THE APR (AUTOMATIC PWR RESERVE) SYS WERE INOP ON ACFT X. I REVIEWED THE COMPUTER SYS FOR PREVIOUS WORK DONE. THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC HISTORY ON EITHER OF THESE 2 SYS. TO CORRECT THE DISCREPANCY WE USED THE APPROPRIATE MEL ITEMS AND DEFERRED THE SYS. LATER; ON COMPLETION OF THE FIRST FLT OUT OF HVY CHK; THE CREW RPTED THAT NEITHER PROP WOULD GO INTO REVERSE. ZZZ1 MAINT TROUBLESHOT AND FOUND BOTH ENG CONDITION LEVERS WERE OUT OF RIG. THE ENGS WERE ACTUALLY GOING INTO TORQUE MOTOR LOCK-OUT WHEN THE CONDITION LEVERS WERE AT MAX WHICH WOULD DISABLE THE CTOT AND APR SYS. THERE WAS A C-CHK WRITE-UP ON THE #2 ENG CONDITION LEVER OUT OF RIG: RANGE OF TRAVEL HITS FORE AND AFT AFTER STOPS. IT WAS SIGNED OFF BY ZZZ MAINT AS 'RIGGED #2 CONDITION PUSH PULL CABLE' ON THE CARD. THERE WAS ANOTHER C-CHK WRITE-UP #1 ENG AND PWR LEVERS OUT OF RIG. IT WAS SIGNED OFF BY ZZZ MAINT. 'RAN ENGS FOUND NO OUT OF RIG CONDITIONS. OPS CHKS GOOD.' AFTER REVIEWING THE REPAIR TO THE 'PROPS NOT GOING INTO REVERSE' PLT WRITE-UP; I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE MEL'S USED FOR THE CTOT AND APR WERE NOT APPLICABLE SINCE THE ENG RIGGING WAS INCORRECT. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME HERE IN MAINT CTL TO VERIFY ENG RIGGING WHEN IT WAS ALREADY SIGNED OFF BY OTHER MAINT PERSONNEL.
