Is AD 2022-12-12 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 2022-12-12 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 2022-12-12 apply to?

AD 2022-12-12 applies to Pratt & Whitney Division — models PW4062, PW4000. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Division Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney Division (PW) PW4062 model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by a report of a manufacturing quality escape due to insufficient cooling of the low-pressure turbine (LPT) stage 5 air seal resulting in a reduction of the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) life limit. This AD requires removal and replacement of the LPT stage 5 air seal with a part eligible for installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Which aircraft AD 2022-12-12 applies to

MakesPratt & Whitney Division

ModelsPW4062, PW4000

Part-conditional — 50N324.

Applies only to engines with an installed low-pressure turbine (LPT) stage 5 air seal, part number 50N324, having a serial number listed in Table 1 to paragraph (c) of this AD, installed.

Whether AD 2022-12-12 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 2022-12-12 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.
