Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD) 94-23-03, applicable to Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT8D-200 series turbofan engines, that currently requires installation and periodic inspection of temperature indicators installed on the No. 4 and 5 bearing compartment scavenge oil tube and performance of any necessary corrective action. This amendment requires the installation and periodic inspection of temperature indicators to all PW JT8D-200 series engines, including those incorporating the containment hardware specified in AD 93-23-10. This amendment is prompted by a report of an uncontained turbine failure due to a high pressure turbine (HPT) shaft fracture on an engine that had the containment hardware installed. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fracture of the HPT shaft, which can result in uncontained release of engine fragments, engine fire, inflight engine shutdown, or possible aircraft damage.

Whether AD 97-19-13 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.

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.
