Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG V2500-A1/ -A5/-D5 Series Turbofan Engines

Samenvatting

This document proposes the supersedure of an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500-A1/-A5/-D5 series turbofan engines, that currently requires revisions to the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) and Maintenance Scheduling Section (MSS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) in the Time Limits Manual (Chapter 05-10-00) of the Engine Manuals to include required enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This action would add additional critical life-limited parts for enhanced inspection. This proposal is prompted by additional focused inspection procedures that have been developed by the manufacturer. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent critical life- limited rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
