FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Pratt & Whitney PW4000 Engines

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series turbofan engines, requiring a one-time inspection of specific tubes to prevent cracking and potential engine failure. The proposed directive aims to address reports of cracked tubes leading to engine shutdowns and unscheduled removals.
