EASA AD CF-2026-35
Engine – Exhaust – Turbine Exhaust Frame Cracks - Inspection
The Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2026-35 is an urgent regulatory document addressing turbine exhaust frame (TEF) cracks in Pratt & Whitney Canada PW210A, PW210A1, and PW210S engines. It mandates initial and periodic general visual inspections of the TEF to detect circumferential cracks caused by thermal stress and material durability issues. This directive updates previous requirements to include different inspection thresholds based on TEF material composition.
