Compliance

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

Required actions

(1) Before exceeding 600 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, remove the affected HPT stage 2 disk, forward seal, and stages 6-10 compressor rotor spool from service and replace with a part eligible for installation. (2) For affected engines not in service, before further flight, remove the affected HPT stage 2 disk, forward seal, and stages 6-10 compressor rotor spool and replace with a part eligible for installation.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed that certain HPT stage 2 disks, forward seals, and stages 6-10 compressor rotor spools were manufactured from powder metal material suspected to contain iron inclusion. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent fracture and potential uncontained failure of certain HPT stage 2 disks, forward seals, and stages 6-10 compressor rotor spools. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained debris release, damage to the engine, and damage to the aircraft.

Affected ADs

None.
