SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all CFM CFM565B and CFM567B model turbofan engines with a certain HPT inner stationary seal installed. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 20, 2019
84 FR 49487. The NPRM was prompted by a report that two cracks were discovered on a CFM CFM565B
model turbofan engine rotating air HPT
front seal during a routine engine shop visit. After investigation, CFM
determined that the HPT inner stationary seal, part number 1808M56G01, may not have received the correct braze heat treat cycle at the time of the honeycomb replacement. As a result, the affected HPT inner stationary seal could lead to a localized separation of the replaced honeycomb, which may reduce the life of the rotating air HPT front seal. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require removal, inspection, and replacement of the affected HPT inner stationary seal and, depending on the findings, replacement of the rotating air HPT
front seal, HPT rotor blades, and No. 3
ball bearing. The FAA is issuing this AD
