Airworthiness Directives; Honeywell International Inc. Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) AS907-1-1A turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by reports of loss of power due to failure of the second stage low-pressure turbine (LPT2) blade. This AD requires a one- time inspection of the LPT2 blades and, if the blades fail the inspection, the replacement of the blades with a part eligible for installation. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Which aircraft AD 2017-20-06 applies to

MakesHoneywell International Inc.
ModelsAS907-1-1A, AS907
Part-conditional3035602-1.

Applies only to engines with second stage low-pressure turbine (LPT2) rotor blades, P/N 3035602-1, installed.

Whether AD 2017-20-06 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 2017-20-06 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.
