Key Issues
HPT Stg 1 Blade – Removals increasing due to trailing edge distress. Reduced
inspection interval SB 72-0366 for MENA region. HPT hardware durability
improvement redesign underway. Testing 2024-25; MRO intro 2026; Prod to follow
FuelNozzle Coking – CNRs for replacement of fuel nozzles. Reverse Bleed selected
as Product Improvement. Development & cert testing underway; Cert & Prod 2Q ‘25
Fan Blade Repairs/Limits – Fan Blades sent to repair Shop due to findings on-
wing/in Shop. Criteria/Repair plan developed to address most frequent findings
Combustordistress – Distress seen during MPD BSI. AMM limits being revised. DR
for re-inspection available for most cases. Root cause identified : C-seal change
introduction targeted 2Q’25
ODMS False Chip Counts – Repetitive CNRs for false chip counts (no debris/fuzz on
ODMS sensor), mostly due to interference between ignition system and ODMS
system. SB 79-0012 introduced new aluminum air/oil separator for weight saving
with side benefit of electric flux resistance in production 1Q’23
