Airworthiness Directive 2022-02-05
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney (P&W) PW1500G and PW1900G model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by an analysis of an event involving an International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2533-A5 model turbofan engine, which experienced an uncontained failure of a high-pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage disk that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating the engine cowling. This AD requires removing certain HPT 1st-stage and HPT 2nd-stage disks from service and replacing with parts eligible for installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2022-02-05 applies to
Applies only to engines with an installed HPT 1st-stage disk, P/N 30G5701, with S/N LKLBCY9473, LKLBDG4865, LKLBDG4877, LKLBDG5064, LKLBDG4951, LKLBEH5482, LKLBCY9462, LKLBDG5142, LKLBFL9238, or LKLBF88737; or an installed HPT 2nd-stage disk, P/N 30G5002, with S/N LKLBCT8724, LKLBDA4633, LKLBDA4689, LKLBD40801, LKLBEL3603, LKLBD40863, LKLBCT8771, LKLBDA4691, LKLBEL3600, LKLBD40830, or LKLBD40845.
Whether AD 2022-02-05 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.
