## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Honeywell International, Inc. (formerly AlliedSignal Inc. and Garrett Turbine Engine Company) high pressure compressor (HPC) impellers installed on TFE731-2, -3, -4, and -5 series turbofan engines. This AD requires the removal and inspection of the HPC impeller and, if necessary, replacement of the HPC impeller with a serviceable impeller. This amendment is prompted by an incident of an uncontained impeller failure due to cracking in the seal relief area of the HPC impeller. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent HPC impeller failure due to fatigue cracking.
