Unsafe Condition
Sixth stage compressor rotor disc failures as a result of abnormal processing of the edge radius in the base of the blade slots.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Replace the suspect sixth stage compressor rotor disc with a new, used, or reworked disc approved by the Chief, Engineering & Manufacturing Branch, Eastern Region, New York. Compliance time adjustments may be made upon submission of substantiating data through an FAA Maintenance Inspector.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
