What to do
Affected operators and maintenance teams should review the Transport Canada AD CF-2008-08R1 and Pratt & Whitney Canada Alert Service Bulletin A24588 Revision 2 to identify and remove affected LP compressor fan blades from service. National Aviation Authorities in EU member states may adopt the AD under their registry responsibilities. For further information or clarification, stakeholders should contact EASA's Airworthiness Directives, Safety Management and Research Section via the provided email.
Summary
The document titled WITHDRAWN - TRANSPORT CANADA AD CF-2008-08R1 HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY EASA is an EASA Safety Information Notice No. 2008-07 R1 issued on 2008-03-19. It addresses the identification and removal from service of low pressure (LP) compressor fan blades on Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A and PW305B engines, which are installed on aircraft including the Hawker Beechcraft BAe125-1000A, BAe125-1000B, Hawker 1000, and Learjet 60. The notice informs stakeholders about the adoption of Transport Canada Airworthiness Directive CF-2008-08R1 by EASA and provides relevant safety information.
What changed
This notice revises the original Transport Canada AD CF-2008-08 to correct a typographical error and informs that EASA has adopted the directive under its safety information framework. It clarifies that the unsafe condition is due to manufacturing defects rather than design approval issues, which limits EASA's authority to issue a formal AD. The document withdraws the previous Transport Canada AD and updates the Safety Information Notice accordingly.
Why it matters
This information is critical for aviation professionals because it highlights a serious safety issue involving LP compressor fan blades that could affect engine reliability and aircraft safety. Operators and maintenance organizations must be aware of the affected engine serial numbers and aircraft types to ensure proper identification and removal of defective parts. Compliance with the directive helps maintain airworthiness and prevents potential in-flight failures.
