Compliance

(1) For HPT stage 1 front hubs listed in paragraph (c)(1) of this AD, do the following: (i) If the HPT stage 1 front hub has accumulated 17,000 or fewer cycles-since-new (CSN) on the effective date of this AD, remove the HPT stage 1 front hub from service before accumulating 18,000 CSN. (ii) If the HPT stage 1 front hub has accumulated more than 17,000 CSN on the effective date of this AD, remove the HPT stage 1 front hub from service before accumulating an additional 1,000 cycles-in-service (CIS) or at the next piece-part exposure above 18,000 CSN, whichever occurs first. (2) For HPT stage 1 front hubs listed in paragraphs (c)(2) and (c)(3) of this AD, do the following: (i) If the HPT stage 1 front hub has accumulated 12,700 or fewer CSN on the effective date of this AD, remove the HPT stage 1 front hub from service before accumulating 13,700 CSN. (ii) If the HPT stage 1 front hub has accumulated more than 12,700 CSN on the effective date of this AD, remove the HPT stage 1 front hub from service before accumulating an additional 1,000 CIS or at the next piece-part exposure above 13,700 CSN, whichever occurs first.
