Airworthiness Directive 2022-13-15
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Williams International Co., L.L.C. Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Williams International Co., L.L.C. (Williams) FJ44-2A, FJ44-2C, FJ44-3A, and FJ44-3A-24 model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by a report of cracks in the high-pressure turbine (HPT) disk posts and failure of an HPT disk post, resulting in the contained fracture of an HPT disk post and blade. This AD requires removing the HPT disk, part number (P/N) 67093, from service before reaching defined cycle limits and replacing it with a part eligible for installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2022-13-15 applies to
Applies only to engines with an engine serial number identified in paragraph 1.A, Effectivity, of Williams International Service Bulletin WISB-72-1032, Revision 2, dated June 4, 2020, with an installed high-pressure turbine (HPT) disk, part number 67093.
Whether AD 2022-13-15 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.
