Applicability*9

This AD applies to Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270, GP7272, and GP7277 turbofan engines, with a high-pressure turbine (HPT) stator case (HPT case), part number (P/N) 2060M40G02 or 2137M29G01 installed, and with HPT case serial numbers (S/Ns) listed in Planning Information, Table 1, of Engine Alliance Alert Service Bulletin EAGP7-A72-401, Revision 1, dated December 13, 2018, and in Planning Information, Table 1, of Engine Alliance Service Bulletin EAGP7-72-399, dated June 4, 2018.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

(1) For HPT cases listed in Planning Information, Table 1, of Engine Alliance Alert Service Bulletin EAGP7-A72-401, Revision No. 1, dated December 13, 2018, remove the affected HPT case from service within the cycles identified in Table 1 of Engine Alliance Alert Service Bulletin EAGP7-A72-401, Revision No. 1, dated December 13, 2018, after the effective date of this AD. (2) For HPT cases listed in Planning Information, Table 1, of Engine Alliance Service Bulletin EAGP7-72-399, dated June 4, 2018, remove the affected HPT cases from service, using the number of part cycles since new (PCSN) or part cycles since overhaul (PCSO), whichever is less, as specified in Table 1 to paragraph (g)(2) of this AD. ER08FE19.000 (3) Replace the removed HPT case with a part eligible for installation before further flight.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by the discovery of a quality escape at a manufacturing facility involving unapproved welds on HPT cases. We are issuing this AD to address failure of the HPT case, which could result in engine fire and damage to the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2018-22-05, Amendment 39-19478 (83 FR 55816, November 8, 2018) (“AD 2018-22-05”).
