Do not install any HPT stage 2 disk, P/N 6083T92P06, 6083T92P07, 6083T92P08, 6083T92P10, or 6083T92P11, that exceeds 2,700 CSN.Note 2: FAA AD 2002-09-10 Amdt 39-12743 refers. |
| Compliance: | 1. At or before the cooling plate accumulates 3,500 cycles-since-new (CSN).2. At or before the disk accumulates 2,700 CSN.3. After the effective date of this AD.4. After the effective date of this AD. |
| This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 16 March 2006. |
| Background: | This AD requires replacing the HPT stage 1 aft cooling plate and HPT stage 2 disks at or before they reach new reduced life cycle limits. This is prompted by analysis of the existing life cycle limits by the engine manufacturer. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the HPT stage 1 aft cooling plate and HPT stage 2 disks, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the aeroplane. |
