## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500-A5/-D5 series turbofan engines, that requires the removal from service of certain high pressure compressor (HPC) stage 9-12 drums prior to reaching the new reduced cyclic life limits, and replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by the reduction of the life limit for certain IAE V2500 HPC stage 9-12 drums due to higher stresses in this part than originally predicted. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent high pressure compressor (HPC) stage 9-12 drum failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the aircraft.
