Unsafe Condition
Cracks emanating from the root of fan blade slots in the first stage fan hub, P/N 431001, due to cyclic stress from engine operation at specified power ratings.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Visually inspect the front of the first stage fan hub with at least 3-power magnification for cracks. Remove the hub from service if cracks are found, except for flights under FAR 21-197 to a maintenance base. Adjust inspection intervals via FAA approval with substantiating data.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Compliance Time
Before further flight, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed four cycles from the last inspection.

ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: REGULATORY TEXT: 67-28-05 PRATT & WHITNEY: Amdt. 39-495 Part 39 Federal Register October 21, 1967. Applies to Models JT3D-1, JT3D-1-MC6, JT3D-1-MC7, JT3D-3, and JT3D-3B Turbofan Engines with First Stage Fan Hubs, P/N 431001, that have not been inspected in accordance with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Turbojet Engine Service Bulletin No. 1219, dated June 3, 1966, or later FAA-approved revision, and reworked in accordance with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft turbojet engine Service Bulletin No. 1066; dated October 25, 1965, or Service Bulletin No. 1219, dated June 3, 1966, or later FAA-approved revisions of these bulletins. Compliance required as indicated. (a) Before further flight, unless already accomplished within the last four cycles and thereafter at intervals not to exceed four cycles from the last inspection, visually inspect front of first stage fan hub, P/N 431001, with 6000 or more cycles since new for the JT3D-1, JT3D-1-MC6, JT3D-1-MC7, or JT3D-3 and JT3D- 3B turbofan engine models operated at JT3D-1 engine power ratings, or 4000 or more cycles since new for turbofan engine models operated at JT3D-3 or JT3D-3B engine power ratings, for indications of cracks emanating from root of fan blade slots, using a glass of at least 3-power. (b) If indications of cracks are found, remove hub from service before further flight, except that the airplane may be flown in accordance with FAR 21-197 to a base where the hub can be removed. (c) For the purposes of this AD, the number of cycles equals the number of landings (including touch- and-go landings). (d) Upon submission of substantiating data through an FAA maintenance inspector, the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Eastern Region, may adjust the repetitive inspection period of the operator. This amendment effective October 24, 1967. This Supersedes AD 66-17-03. FOOTER:
