(1) Remove from service HPC rear shafts which have accumulated 17,600 or more cycles since new on the effective date of this AD, within the next 400 cycles in service.

(2) Remove from service HPC rear shafts which have accumulated less than 17,600 cycles since new on the effective date of this AD, at or prior to accumulating 18,000 cycles since new.

(c) Aircraft may be ferried in accordance with the provisions of FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to a base where the AD may be accomplished.
