Airworthiness Directives; Allison Engine Company AE 3007 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Allison Engine Company AE 3007 series turbofan engines. This AD would require removal of certain cone shafts from service before exceeding new cyclic life limits and replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by additional testing and low cycle fatigue (LCF) life analysis that substantiate lower cyclic lives than originally determined. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent LCF failure of cone shafts, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the aircraft.

Part-conditional23050728, 23070729.

Applies only when cone shaft P/N 23050728 or 23070729 is installed.

Whether AD 2000-09-05 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2000-09-05 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
