Airworthiness Directive 2011-25-10
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Corp. (PW) JT9D-7R4H1 Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all PW JT9D-7R4H1 turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in five high-pressure compressor (HPC) shafts. This AD requires removing certain HPC shafts before their certified life limits and establishes a new, lower life-limit for these parts. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2011-25-10 applies to
Applies only to the JT9D-7R4H1 model; all other JT9D models (including JT9D-7R4E1 and JT9D-7R4E1H) are excluded from this AD.
Whether AD 2011-25-10 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.
