(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by an analysis of
an event involving an International Aero
Engines AG V2533–A5 model turbofan
engine, which experienced an uncontained
failure of an HPT 1st-stage disk that resulted
in high-energy debris penetrating the engine
cowling. The FAA is issuing this AD to
prevent failure of the HPT 1st-stage disk and
HPT 2nd-stage disk. The unsafe condition, if
not addressed, could result in uncontained
HPT disk failure, release of high-energy
debris, damage to the engine, damage to the
airplane, and loss of the airplane.

(5) For affected engines that have
incorporated PW SB PW1000G–C–72–00–
0112–00A–930A–D and do not require an
inspection per paragraph (g)(2) or (3) of this
AD, no further action is required.
(h) Definitions
(1) For the purpose of this AD, a ‘‘part
eligible for installation’’ is:
(i) Any HPT 1st-stage disk that has passed
the USI required by paragraphs (g)(1)(i) or
(g)(2) of this AD.
(ii) Any HPT 2nd-stage disk that has
passed the USI required by paragraphs
(g)(1)(ii) or (g)(3) of this AD.
(iii) Any HPT 1st-stage disk that has
incorporated PW SB PW1000G–C–72–00–
0112–00A–930A–D and does not require an
inspection per paragraph (g)(2) of this AD.
(iv) Any HPT 2nd-stage disk that has
incorporated PW SB PW1000G–C–72–00–
0112–00A–930A–D and does not require an
inspection per paragraph (g)(3) of this AD.
(v) Any HPT 1st-stage disk or HPT 2ndstage disk with a certificate of conformance
that shows ‘‘PW1000G–C–72–00–0188–00A–
930A–D,’’ ‘‘1 CODE 45S,’’ or identified by
part marking ‘‘21CC332’’ or ‘‘SB 72–0188.’’

shop visit’’ is the induction of an engine into
the shop for maintenance involving the
separation of the ‘‘M’’ flange. Separation of
the ‘‘M’’ flange solely for the purposes of

(AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, ECO Branch, FAA, has
the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD,
if requested using the procedures found in 14

(ii) Any HPT 2nd-stage disk that has passed the USI required by
paragraphs (g)(1)(ii) or (g)(3) of this AD.
(iii) Any HPT 1st-stage disk that has incorporated PW SB
PW1000G-C-72-00-0112-00A-930A-D and does not require an inspection
per paragraph (g)(2) of this AD.
