AD: Pratt & Whitney

AD NUMBER: 2003-21-03
MANUFACTURER:
Pratt & Whitney
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-21-03


SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Pratt & Whitney Canada (PWC) models PW118, PW120, PW120A, and PW121 turboprop engines. This AD requires replacing the low pressure rotor speed (NL) sensor port sealing tube and reworking or replacing the external air tube connecting the P2.5/P3 switching valve to the rear inlet case. This AD is prompted by a report of an internal oil fire in the engine intercompressor case (ICC). A fire in the ICC could cause the existing tubes to disengage due to melted brazing on the tubes. Once these tubes disengage, the ICC fire then develops into an external fire within the engine nacelle cavity.We are issuing this AD to prevent fire in the engine nacelle cavity, in-flight engine shutdown, and airplane damage.
