Airworthiness Directive 00-27632
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500-A5 and -D5 Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500-A5 and -D5 series turbofan engines, identified by serial number. This amendment requires the removal of engines assembled with an improper High Pressure Turbine (HPT) module configuration from service prior to accumulating 5,100 or 7,600 cycles in the improper configuration, or at the next shop visit, depending on the type of improper HPT configuration, and restoration to type design. This amendment is prompted by reports of engines that do not conform to the engine type design, which could cause a Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) life reduction of the HPT stage 1 disk. The actions specified by this AD are intended to restore engines to type design configuration and to prevent possible LCF failure of the HPT stage 1 disk, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 00-27632 applies to
Applies only to the 32 specific engine serial numbers listed (a discrete list, not a continuous range). Installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A319, A320, A321 series and McDonnell Douglas MD-90 series airplanes.
Whether AD 00-27632 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:
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.
