| Summary | The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney Division (PW) Model PW4074D, PW4077D, PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 engines. This proposed AD was prompted by the discovery of a quality escape involving incorrect shot peening on certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) drum rotor disk assemblies. This proposed AD would require visually inspecting the HPC drum rotor disk assembly for incorrect shot peen coverage and, depending on the results of the inspection, replacing the HPC drum rotor disk assembly with a part eligible for installation. This proposed AD would also require removing and replacing certain HPC drum rotor disk assemblies before reaching ce |
