AD 2020-13-06 Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Turboprop Engines
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PW150A model turboprop engines with a high-pressure (HP) centrifugal impeller, part number (P/N) 3049127-01, installed.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Remove HP centrifugal impeller, P/N 3049127-01, with any serial number (S/N) listed in Table 2 of P&WC Service Bulletin (SB) No. PW150-72-35331, Revision No. 1, dated May 3, 2016, prior to accumulating 8,000 flight cycles since new or within 150 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, and replace with a part eligible for installation.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a determination by the manufacturer that certain HP centrifugal impellers installed on P&WC PW150A model turboprop engines may exhibit a material microstructure anomaly that has a potential to adversely affect the low cycle fatigue characteristics of the part. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of a certain HP centrifugal impeller. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained release of the HP centrifugal impeller, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
