Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines (IAE)
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for IAE V2500-A1, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5, and V2533- A5 turbofan engines. This proposed AD would require a onetime inspection of certain vortex reducers for cracks, and replacing the reducer and high-pressure (HP) compressor stage 3-8 drum if the reducer is cracked.

Cracks in the vortex reducer could cause an uncontained failure of the HP compressor stage 3-8 drum, which could result in damage to the airplane.
