| 2016-26280 | Airworthiness Directives; Engine Alliance Turbofan Engines | Rule | We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-02-06 for all Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270 and GP7277 turbofan engines with certain part number (P/N) high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 2 nozzle segments installed. AD 2013-02-06 required initial and repetitive borescope inspections (BSI) and removal from service of these nozzles before further flight if one or more burn holes were detected in any HPT stage 2 nozzle segment. AD 2013-02-06 also required removal from service of these HPT stage 2 nozzle segments at the next engine shop visit. This AD requires the same inspections as AD-2013-02-06, requires removal of affected HPT stage 2 nozzles at next piece-part exposure, and adds certain P/Ns to the applicability. This AD was prompted by another report of inadequate cooling of the HPT stage 1 shroud and stage 2 nozzle, leading to damage to the HPT stage 2 nozzle, burn- through of the turbine case, and in-flight shutdown. We are issuing this AD to prevent HPT stage 2 nozzle failure, uncontrolled fire, in- flight shutdown, and damage to the airplane. | 2016-11-01 | 2016 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/01/2016-26280/airworthiness-directives-engine-alliance-turbofan-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-11-01/pdf/2016-26280.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-02-06 for all Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270 and GP7277 turbofan engines with certain part number (P/N) high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 2 nozzle segments installed.
