FAA Proposes Revised Airworthiness Directive for Pratt & Whitney Turbofan Engines

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a revised airworthiness directive (AD) for Pratt & Whitney (P&W) JT8D-209, JT8D-217, JT8D-217A, JT8D-217C, and JT8D-219 model turbofan engines to address an unsafe condition following a reported engine surge that resulted in the fracture of a low-pressure turbine (LPT) blade on an MD-82 airplane equipped with a JT8D-217 engine.
