Airworthiness Directive 2018-24-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain International Aero Engines (IAE) PW1100G-JM turbofan engine models with certain low-pressure turbine (LPT) 1st- and 3rd-stage disks installed. This AD was prompted by a report of manufacturing defects found on delivered LPT 1st- and 3rd-stage disks. This AD requires removing the LPT 1st- or 3rd-stage disk from service and replacing with a part eligible for installation. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2018-24-01 applies to
Applies to engines with a low-pressure turbine (LPT) 3rd-stage disk with a serial number listed in Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, or an LPT 1st-stage disk with a serial number listed in Figure 2 to paragraph (g) of this AD, installed (specific serial numbers not included in provided applicability text).
Whether AD 2018-24-01 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.
