[Docket No. 95-ANE-37; Amendment 39-10857; AD 96-18-08 R1]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney PW2000 Series Turbofan
Engines
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment revises an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), applicable to Pratt & Whitney PW2000 series turbofan engines,
that currently requires a reduction in the cyclic service life limit
for hubs, disks, airseals, blade retaining plates, and airsealing ring
supports on certain high pressure turbines (HPT) and low pressure
turbines (LPT), and provides for optional inspections for cracks or
rework of certain HPT and LPT hardware in order to retain the original,
higher cyclic service life limit for these components. This amendment
clarifies questions from operators regarding 2nd stage HPT hub detail
vs. assembly part numbers (P/Ns). This amendment is prompted by
comments from operators describing confusion as to which 2nd stage HPT
hubs, identified by P/N, needed to be removed prior to the new life
limit. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent HPT or
LPT failure, which may result in an uncontained engine failure and
possible damage to the aircraft.
DATES: Effective November 10, 1998.
The incorporation by reference of Pratt & Whitney Alert Service
Bulletin (ASB) No. PW2000 A72-82, Revision 1, dated April 25, 1986,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 26, 1996, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) issued AD 96-18-08, Amendment 39-9732 (61 FR
50984, September 30, 1996), applicable to Pratt & Whitney PW2000 series
turbofan engines, to require a reduction in the cyclic service life
limit for hubs, disks, airseals, blade retaining plates, and airsealing
ring supports on certain high pressure turbine (HPT) and low pressure
turbine (LPT) hardware, and provide for optional inspections for cracks
or rework of certain HPT and LPT hardware in order to retain the
original, higher cyclic service life limit for these components. That
action was prompted by new temperature data from engine testing, which
were used in recalculating stress levels, and resulted in a change to
the calculated cyclic service life limit. That condition, if not
corrected, could result in HPT or LPT failure, which may result in an
uncontained engine failure and possible damage to the aircraft.
Since the issuance of that AD, the FAA received comments from
operators describing confusion as to which 2nd stage HPT hubs,
identified by part number (P/N), needed to be removed prior to the new
life limit, in accordance with paragraph (f) of the compliance section.
Since an unsafe condition has been identified that is likely to
exist or develop on other engines of this same type design, this AD
revises AD 96-18-08 to clarify questions from operators regarding 2nd
stage HPT hub detail vs. P/Ns in paragraph (f) of the compliance
section.
Since a situation exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this regulation, it is found that notice and opportunity for prior
public comment hereon are impracticable, and that good cause exists for
making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.
Comments Invited
Although this action is in the form of a final rule that involves
requirements affecting flight safety and, thus, was not preceded by
notice and an opportunity for public comment, comments are invited on
this rule. Interested persons are invited to comment on this rule by
submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they may desire.
Communications should identify the Rules Docket number and be submitted
in triplicate to the address specified under the caption ADDRESSES. All
communications received on or before the closing date for comments will
be considered, and this rule may be amended in light of the comments
received. Factual information that supports the commenter's ideas and
suggestions is extremely helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of the
AD action and determining whether additional rulemaking action would be
needed.
Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might
suggest a need to modify the rule. All comments submitted will be
available, both before and after the closing date for comments, in the
Rules Docket for examination by interested persons. A report that
summarizes each FAA-public contact concerned with the substance of this
AD will be filed in the Rules Docket.
Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
submitted in response to this notice must submit a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to Docket Number 95-ANE-37.'' The postcard will be date stamped and
returned to the commenter.
The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this final
rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
The FAA has determined that this regulation is an emergency
regulation that must be issued immediately to correct an unsafe
condition in aircraft, and is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866.
It has been determined further that this action involves an
emergency regulation under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034, February 26, 1979). If it is determined that this emergency
regulation otherwise would be significant under DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures, a final regulatory evaluation will be prepared and
placed in the Rules Docket. A copy of it, if filed, may be obtained
from the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption
ADDRESSES.

Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
2. Section 39.13 is amended by removing Amendment 39-9732 (61 FR
50984, September 30, 1996) and by adding a new airworthiness directive,
Amendment 39-10857, to read as follows:
96-18-08 R1 Pratt & Whitney: Amendment 39-10857. Docket 95-ANE-37.
Revises AD 96-18-08, Amendment 39-9732.
Applicability: Pratt & Whitney Models PW2037, PW2037(M), PW2040,
PW2240, and PW2337 turbofan engines, installed on but not limited
to, Boeing 757 series and Ilyushin IL96 series aircraft.
Note 1: This airworthiness directive (AD) applies to each engine
identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of
whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area
subject to the requirements of this AD. For engines that have been
modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the
requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with
paragraph (o) of this AD. The request should include an assessment
of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the
unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition
has not been eliminated, the request should include specific
proposed actions to address it.
Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished
previously.
