Airworthiness Directive 95-07-02
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; AlliedSignal Inc. TFE731-3 Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to AlliedSignal Inc. (formerly Garrett Turbine Engine Company) TFE731-3 series turbofan engines, that requires the removal of suspect low pressure turbine (LPT) disks due to their susceptibility to creep fatigue. This amendment is prompted by reports of LPT disks that have separated through the disk web due to creep fatigue. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an LPT disk web separation, which may result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the aircraft.
Which aircraft AD 95-07-02 applies to
Not applicable to TFE731-3A-300G and TFE731-3AR-200G engines installed on IAI 1125 Westwind Astra aircraft. Installed on but not limited to Dassault Falcon 50, Lockheed 1329-23/-25 (Jetstar/Jetstar II), IAI 1124 (Westwind), Raytheon/BAe DH/HS/BH 125 series, Learjet 55, Cessna 650 Citation III/VI, and Sabreliner NA-265 (Sabreliner 65).
Whether AD 95-07-02 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.
