EASA Regulations for Pratt & Whitney PW2000

5 airworthiness directives and regulations affecting Pratt & Whitney PW2000.

EASA AD US-2024-12-04

Engine - High-Pressure Turbine 2nd Stage Blade Assemblies - Inspections

The Federal Register document titled "Engine - High-Pressure Turbine 2nd Stage Blade Assemblies - Inspections" is a final rule airworthiness directive issued by the FAA affecting Pratt & Whitney Model PW2037, PW2037M, and PW2040 engines. It addresses an unsafe condition caused by fractures in the high-pressure turbine 2nd stage turbine hub assembly lugs that led to in-flight shutdowns and fires. The directive mandates inspections and potential replacement of affected turbine hub and blade assemblies.
