Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12797 · Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 Series Turbofan Engines
Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 Series Turbofan Engines
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-18-02. Comply with the one in force.
Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT8D-200 series turbofan engines, installed on but not limited to McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series airplanes.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 series turbofan engines, that currently requires revisions to the Time Limits Section (TLS) of the JT8D-200 Turbofan Engine Manual to include required enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This AD adds additional critical life-limited parts for enhanced inspection. This AD is prompted by additional focused inspection procedures that have been developed by the manufacturer. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the failure of critical, life-limited, rotating engine parts, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
