FAA Revises Airworthiness Directive for Pratt & Whitney JT8D-1 Engines to Address Reference Errors and Omissions

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is revising an existing airworthiness directive for Pratt & Whitney JT8D-1 engines to correct inadvertent reference errors and omissions found in the original directive, and to relax some compliance times. The revised directive aims to prevent a rupture of high-pressure compressor parts that could lead to an uncontained engine failure and airplane damage.
