Airworthiness Directive 99-27-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney JT8D-209, -217, -217A, -217C, and -219 Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT8D-209, -217, -217A, -217C, and - 219 series turbofan engines, that requires inspection of the 3rd stage and 4th stage low pressure turbine (LPT) blades for shroud notch wear and replacement of the blade if wear limits are exceeded. This amendment is prompted by a report of an uncontained blade failure. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an uncontained blade failure that could result in damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 99-27-01 applies to
Whether AD 99-27-01 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.
