Airworthiness Directive 05-12080
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Honeywell International Inc. (Formerly AlliedSignal Inc. and Garrett Turbine Engine Co.) TFE731-2 and -3 Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Honeywell International Inc. (formerly AlliedSignal Inc. and Garrett Turbine Engine Co.) TFE731-2 and -3 series turbofan engines with certain part numbers (P/Ns) and serial numbers (SNs) of low pressure (LP) 1st and 2nd stage turbine rotor discs initially installed. This AD requires replacement of those LP 1st and 2nd stage turbine rotor discs. This AD results from a report of an uncontained failure of an LP 2nd stage turbine rotor disc that resulted in an in-flight engine shutdown. We are issuing this AD to prevent LP turbine rotor disk separation, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 05-12080 applies to
Manufacturer formerly AlliedSignal Inc. and Garrett Turbine Engine Co. Applies to the listed low pressure (LP) 1st and 2nd stage turbine rotor disc part numbers, with serial numbers listed in Honeywell SB No. TFE731-72-3682, dated November 26, 2002, initially installed as new parts before April 1, 1991. Installed on, but not limited to, Dassault Mystere-Falcon 10/50, Cessna 650/Citation III/Citation VI, Gulfstream/IAI 1125 Westwind Astra, IAI 1124, Learjet 31/35/36/55, Lockheed-Georgia 1329-25, Raytheon/BAe DH/HS/BH-125, and Sabreliner NA-265-65 series aircraft.
Whether AD 05-12080 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.
