Unsafe Condition

Failure of the high-pressure compressor (HPC) 7th-stage integrally bladed rotor (IBR-7) due to a nickel powdered metal anomaly, similar in nature to an anomaly previously observed on March 18, 2020, when an Airbus Model A321-231 airplane, powered by IAE AG Model V2533-A5 engines, experienced an uncontained HPT 1st-stage hub failure that resulted in high-energy debris penetrating the engine cowling.
