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

What this AD requires

This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-19-13 applicable to Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT8D-200 series turbofan engines that was published in the Federal Register on September 19, 1997 (62 FR 49135). The paragraph references to the Accomplishment Instructions of PW Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 5944, Revision 3, dated December 16, 1994, in paragraph (a)(3) of the compliance section are incorrect. This document corrects the paragraph references. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

Which aircraft AD 97-29968 applies to

MakesPratt & Whitney Jt8D-200

Whether AD 97-29968 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 97-29968 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.
