Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG Turbofan Engines Federal Aviation Administration FAA, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.
AGENCY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive AD for certain International Aero Engines AG IAE
V2522A5, V2524A5, V2527A5, V2527EA5, V2527MA5, V2530A5, and V2533A5 model turbofan engines.
This AD was prompted by a review of investigative findings from an event involving an uncontained failure of a high-pressure turbine HPT 1st-stage disk that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating the engine cowling. This AD
requires an ultrasonic inspection USI
of affected HPT 1st-stage disks and HPT
2nd-stage disks and, depending on the results of the USI, removal of the affected HPT 1st-stage and HPT 2ndstage disks from service. The FAA
previously sent an emergency AD to all known U.S. owners and operators of these engines and is now issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective July 19, 2021. Emergency AD 20211151, issued on May 21, 2021, which contained the requirements of this amendment, was effective with actual notice.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications identified in this AD as of July 13, 2021 86 FR 30380, June 8, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background On May 21, 2021, the FAA issued Emergency AD 20211151 the emergency AD, which requires a USI of affected HPT 1st-stage disks and HPT
2nd-stage disks installed on IAE V2522

model turbofan engines and, depending on the results of the USI, removal of the affected HPT disks from service. The FAA sent the emergency AD to all known U.S. owners and operators of these engines. That action was prompted by a review of investigative findings from an event involving an uncontained failure of an HPT 1st-stage disk that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating the engine cowling. This condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained HPT failure, release of high-energy debris, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and loss of the airplane.
FAAs Determination The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
