Airworthiness Directive 99-07-04
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Williams International, L.L.C. FJ44-1A Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Williams International, L.L.C. FJ44-1A turbofan engines, that requires removing the high pressure turbine (HPT) disk from service prior to accumulating a reduced cyclic life limit of 1,900 cycles since new (CSN) and replacing with a serviceable disk. As an option, the HPT nozzle can be modified, thereby increasing the HPT disk cyclic life limit from the new reduced cyclic life limit. This amendment is prompted by a revised life analysis conducted by the manufacturer after the failure of a similarly designed HPT disk. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent HPT disk rim failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the aircraft.
Which aircraft AD 99-07-04 applies to
Installed on but not limited to Cessna 525 series aircraft; applies to each identified engine regardless of modification, alteration, or repair status.
Whether AD 99-07-04 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.
