Required actions

(1) For IAE V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 model turbofan engines with an HPT 1st-stage disk, P/N 2A5001, with an S/N listed in Appendix A, Table 1, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1, within the compliance time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, or within 10 flight cycles (FCs) after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, perform an ultrasonic inspection (USI) of the HPT 1st-stage disk using the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 6, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1. ER08FE22.048 Note 1 to paragraph (g)(1): The USI required by paragraphs (g)(1) through (6) of this AD requires the HPT 1st-stage disk and HPT 2nd-stage disks to be removed from the engine allowing piece-part opportunity inspections. Per the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the manufacturer's Instructions for Continued Airworthiness, the additional inspections are not required unless the part has more than 100 FCs since the last piece-part opportunity inspection, is damaged, or is the cause for the removal of the engine. Engine removal for the purposes of complying with this AD is not “cause” for removal as stated in the Airworthiness Limitations Section. (2) For IAE V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 model turbofan engines with an HPT 2nd-stage disk, P/N 2A4802, with an S/N listed in Appendix A, Table 2, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1, within the compliance time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, or within 10 FCs after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, perform a USI of the HPT 2nd-stage disk using the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 7, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1. (3) For IAE V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, and V2527-A5 model turbofan engines with an HPT 1st-stage disk, P/N 2A5001, with an S/N listed in Appendix A, Table 1, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1, within the following compliance times, perform a USI of the HPT 1st-stage disk using the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 6, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1: (i) If the affected HPT 1st-stage disk has not operated at any time in an IAE V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, or V2533-A5 model turbofan engine, perform the inspection within the compliance time specified in Figure 2 to paragraph (g)(3)(i) of this AD, or within 10 FCs after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later; or ER08FE22.049 (ii) If the affected HPT 1st-stage disk has operated at any time in an IAE V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, or V2533-A5 model turbofan engine, perform the inspection within the compliance time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, or within 10 FCs after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. (4) For IAE V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, and V2527-A5 model turbofan engines with an HPT 2nd-stage disk, P/N 2A4802, with an S/N listed in Appendix A, Table 2, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1, within the following compliance times, perform a USI of the HPT 2nd-stage disk using the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 7, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1: (i) If the affected HPT 2nd-stage disk has not operated at any time in an IAE V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, or V2533-A5 model turbofan engine, perform the inspection within the compliance time specified in Figure 2 to paragraph (g)(3)(i) of this AD, or within 10 FCs after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later; or (ii) If the affected HPT 2nd-stage disk has operated at any time in an IAE V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, or V2533-A5 model turbofan engine, perform the inspection within the compliance time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, or within 10 FCs after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. (5) For IAE V2531-E5 model turbofan engines with an HPT 1st-stage disk, P/N 2A5001, with an S/N listed in Appendix A, Table 1, of IAE NMSB V2500-E5-72-0015, Revision 1, within the compliance time specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, or within 10 FCs after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, perform a USI of the HPT 1st-stage disk using the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 6, of IAE NMSB V2500-E5-72-0015, Revision 1.

(7) If, during the USI required by paragraphs (g)(1) through (6) of this AD, an HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-stage disk does not pass the inspection as specified in the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 8, of IAE NMSB V2500-ENG-72-0713, Revision 1, or IAE NMSB V2500-E5-72-0015, Revision 1, as applicable, before further flight, remove the HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2nd-stage disk, as applicable, from service and replace with a part eligible for installation.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by an analysis performed by the manufacturer after an event involving an uncontained failure of a HPT 1st-stage disk that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating the engine cowling. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HPT 1st-stage disk and HPT 2nd-stage disk. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained HPT disk failure, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2021-11-15, Amendment 39-21577 (86 FR 30380, June 8, 2021) (AD 2021-11-15).
