FAA Issues New Airworthiness Directive for Pratt & Whitney Engines
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) for certain Pratt & Whitney Division engine models. This safety mandate is prompted by the discovery of a potential unsafe condition in a critical component that could lead to engine failure. The directive requires operators to perform specific, mandatory inspections of the affected engines. If defects are found, component replacements must be completed within a specified timeframe to maintain the aircraft's airworthiness and ensure passenger safety.
