This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT8D and JT3D series turbofan engines. This action requires operators to remove and replace with serviceable parts, certain stage 7 through stage 15 high-pressure compressor (HPC) disks identified by part number and serial number. This amendment is prompted by a report of an uncontained failure of a stage 8 HPC disk during a takeoff roll that resulted in damage to the airplane. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent the failure of a high-pressure compressor disk due to Cadmium embrittlement, resulting in uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane. Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before March 1, 1999.

Note 1: This airworthiness directive (AD) applies to each engine identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For engines that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it. Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent the failure of a high-pressure compressor disk due to Cadmium embrittlement, resulting in uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane, accomplish the following: (a) Remove from service stage 7 through stage 15 high-pressure compressor (HPC) disks identified in Appendix 1 of this AD as follows: (1) For disks with less than 250 hours time in service (TIS) since last NiCd plating, remove disk and replace with a serviceable part within 100 hours TIS after the effective date of this AD. (2) For disks with greater than or equal to 250 hours and less than 500 hours TIS since last NiCd plating, remove disk and replace with a serviceable part within 150 hours TIS after the effective date of this AD. (3) For disks with greater than or equal to 500 hours TIS since last NiCd plating no action is required. (4) Disks removed from service in accordance withthis AD are not eligible for installation in any engine. (b) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Engine Certification Office. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Engine Certification Office. Note 2: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this airworthiness directive, if any, may be obtained from the Engine Certification Office. (c) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the aircraft to a location where the record search requirements of this AD can be accomplished. (d) This amendment becomes effective on January 5, 1999.
