This AD applies to Williams International Co., L.L.C. (Williams) FJ44-2A, FJ44-2C, FJ44-3A, and FJ44-3A-24 model turbofan engines with an engine serial number identified in paragraph 1.A., Effectivity, of Williams International Service Bulletin WISB-72-1032, Revision 2, dated June 4, 2020 (the SB), with an installed high-pressure turbine (HPT) disk, part number (P/N) 67093.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Williams International Co., L.L.C. (Williams) FJ44-2A, FJ44-2C, FJ44-3A, and FJ44-3A-24 model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by a report of cracks in the high-pressure turbine (HPT) disk posts and failure of an HPT disk post, resulting in the contained fracture of an HPT disk post and blade. This AD requires removing the HPT disk, part number (P/N) 67093, from service before reaching defined cycle limits and replacing it with a part eligible for installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
(1) For FJ44-2A and FJ44-2C model turbofan engines, within the compliance times specified in Table 1 to Paragraph (g) of this AD, remove the affected HPT disk from service and replace it with a part eligible for installation using paragraphs 2.C. and E., Accomplishment Instructions—FJ44-2A & FJ44-2C, of the SB.
(2) For FJ44-3A and FJ44-3A-24 model turbofan engines, within the compliance times specified in Table 1 to Paragraph (g) of this AD, remove the affected HPT disk from service and replace it with a part eligible for installation using paragraphs 3.C. and D., of the SB.
After the effective date of this AD, do not install onto any engine an HPT disk with P/N 67093.
