What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03-04 for all Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines with a certain engine 1st-stage low-pressure compressor (LPC) rotor assembly, referred to after this as the "engine fan hub assembly," installed. AD 2019-03-04 required a visual inspection of the engine fan hub assembly for damage, a one-time eddy current inspection (ECI) of the fan hub blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks, and removal of parts if damage or defects are found. For certain GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines, this AD continues to require a one-time ECI of the engine fan hub blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks and a visual inspection of the engine fan hub assembly for damage. For all GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines, this AD also requires an independent inspection of the engine fan hub assembly prior to reassembly of the engine fan hub blade lock assembly. For certain serial-numbered GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines, this AD requires replacement of the engine fan hub blade lock assembly. This AD was prompted by an uncontained failure of the engine fan hub. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Whether AD 2019-16-04 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 compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2019-16-04 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.
