✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for International Aero Engines
Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG Engines
Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain International Aero Engines AG (IAE AG) Model V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, V2531-E5, and V2533-A5 engines. This proposed AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed a quality escape following angled ultrasonic inspections (AUSIs) performed on certain high- pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage hubs and HPT 2nd-stage hubs. This proposed AD would require removal and replacement of certain HPT 1st- stage hubs and HPT 2nd-stage hubs. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The regulatory text involves compliance requirements for aviation businesses regarding airworthiness directives for specific engine models. It indicates potential financial impacts due to engine part replacements, estimated to affect U.S. operators financially (about $937,000 total for two engines). Compliance is necessary to ensure safety and avoid regulatory penalties.
