Compliance

You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, unless the actions have already been done. (g) Remove from service HPT stage 1 rotor disks identified by P/N in paragraph (c) of this AD.

Alternative Methods of

Unsafe condition

This AD results from the FAA learning that those disks are susceptible to cracks developing at the aft chamfer of the blade dovetail slots. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracks developing at the aft chamfer of the blade dovetail slots that could propagate to a failure of the disk and cause an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
