Resumo da Diretiva

PT-BRTradução automática

A FAA está adotando uma nova diretiva de aeronavegabilidade (DA) para certos motores Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) modelo PW535E e PW535E1. Esta DA foi motivada por uma revisão de projeto do fabricante que indicou certos parafusos de flange que fixam o cárter do gerador de gás e o cárter de suporte da turbina estão suscetíveis a trincas em sua vida atual de fadiga de ciclo baixo (LCF). Esta DA exige inspeções repetitivas por boroscópio (BSI) dos parafusos de retenção do cárter do gerador de gás ao cárter de suporte da turbina, buscando evidência de trincas nos parafusos, fratura de parafuso, parafusos ausentes ou soltos, e substituição, se necessário, conforme especificado em uma DA da Transport Canada, que é incorporada por referência. A FAA está emitindo esta DA para abordar a condição insegura nestes produtos.

ENOriginal (Federal Register)

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) Model PW535E and PW535E1 engines. This AD was prompted by a manufacturer design review that indicated certain flange bolts securing the gas generator case and turbine support case are susceptible to cracking at their current low- cycle fatigue (LCF) life. This AD requires repetitive borescope inspections (BSI) of the gas generator case to turbine support case retaining bolts for evidence of bolt cracks, bolt fracture, missing bolts, or loose bolts and replacement, if necessary, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
