(2) This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g)(2) of AD 2023-16-07. For Group 1 and Group 2 engines with an installed HPT 2nd-stage hub having P/N 30G6602 and an S/N listed in Tables 1, 2, 3, or 4 of PW SI No. 149F-23, within 30 days after August 28, 2023 (the effective date of AD 2023-16-07), perform an AUSI of the HPT 2nd-stage hubs for cracks in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 9.C. or 9.D., as applicable, of PW1000G-C-72-00-0188-00A-930A-D, Issue No: 002.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by an analysis of an event involving an IAE LLC Model PW1127GA-JM engine, which experienced failure of an HPC IBR-7 that resulted in an engine shutdown and aborted takeoff. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HPT 1st-stage hub, HPT 2nd-stage hub, HPC IBR-7, and HPC IBR-8. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained hub failure, release of high-energy debris, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the airplane.

Affected ADs

(1) This AD replaces AD 2022-19-15, Amendment 39-22184 (87 FR 59660, October 3, 2022; corrected October 24, 2022 (87 FR 64156)). (2) This AD replaces AD 2023-16-07, Amendment 39-22526 (88 FR 56999, August 22, 2023) (AD 2023-16-07).
