结论摘要
FAA拟议替代的普惠PW4000适航指令只是对5月旧AD补漏(遗漏件号+条款错配),124台发动机、约458万美元直接成本,增量利空对RTX和航司均不具重大性,不交易。
🔎 新鲜度:最早出现 2026-10-16 · 扩散 low · price-in 风险 low ↗
关键理由
- 增量事实为行政性修正:核心镍粉末冶金风险在2026年5月AD 2026-09-02中已披露并定价,本次仅新增一个件号和6个气封更换
- 量级过小:FAA估算直接合规成本4,578,510美元,受影响机队仅124台在美注册老旧发动机,对RTX(数千亿美元市值)及运营商均无报表级影响
主要风险
- 若视情检查发现大量裂纹需更换(单台零件最高约91万美元),全球机队口径的保修成本可能高于本次美国口径估算,但受影响总量仍受限于老旧PW4000机队规模
- NPRM尚处评论期,最终条款与生效日可能变化,但方向上不会改变重大性判断
反向证据
- 做空前查反向 · 来源 filing · 日期 2026-10-16 · 影响 weakens
原文显示核心不安全状态与检查要求在2026年5月AD中已存在,本次无新事故、无新增停飞令、无紧急生效条款(仅NPRM),做空催化强度不足

先例如何影响了这次决策
对本次决策的影响:因增量成本不具重大性且核心风险已在5月定价,放弃检索先例,直接AVOID
方向:不足以构成交易:行政性NPRM补漏对股价无可测量的重大影响,历史适航指令先例研究不会改变重大性结论
涨幅量级:无高相似先例用于校准幅度;文件内FAA自估成本(约458万美元+视情换件)相对RTX体量已可直接判定不重大

[Docket No. FAA-2026-11811; Project Identifier AD-2026-00667-E]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney RTX Corporation (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Pratt & Whitney Division United Technologies Corporation)
Engines
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2026-0902, which applies to certain Pratt & Whitney RTX Corporation (PW) Model PW4074,
PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D, PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 engines. AD
2026-09-02 requires repetitive angle ultrasonic scan inspections (AUSIs) of the highpressure compressor (HPC) 15th-stage disks, front turbine hubs, high-pressure turbine
(HPT) 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications, and removal
from service and replacement if necessary, and for certain serial numbers, removal from
service and replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. Since the FAA issued AD 202609-02, the FAA was notified that a certain part number was omitted from AD 2026-09-02
and the applicability of the optional terminating action was matched to an unrelated
requirement. This proposed AD would require repetitive AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage
disks, front turbine hubs, HPT 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack
indications, and removal from service and replacement if necessary, and for certain serial
numbers, removal from service and replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. The FAA
is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by [INSERT DATE 45
DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].

Background
The FAA issued AD 2026-09-02, Amendment 39-23322 (91 FR 30191, May 22,
2026) (AD 2026-09-02), for PW Model PW4074, PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D,
PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 engines. AD 2026-09-02 was prompted by an
analysis of an event involving an International Aero Engines, LLC (IAE LLC) Model
PW1127GA-JM engine, which experienced an HPC 7th-stage integrally bladed rotor
(IBR-7) separation that resulted in an aborted takeoff. Following this event, the
manufacturer analysis found that the failure of the HPC IBR-7 was caused by a nickel
powdered metal anomaly, similar in nature to an anomaly previously observed. The
analysis also concluded that there is an increased risk of failure for additional nickel
powdered metal parts in certain nickel powdered metal production campaigns, and these
parts are susceptible to failure much earlier than previously determined. AD 2026-09-02
requires repetitive AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage disks, front turbine hubs, HPT 1st-stage
air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications, and removal from service and
replacement if necessary, and for certain serial numbers, removal from service and
replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. The FAA issued AD 2026-09-02 to prevent
failure of the HPC 15th-stage disk, front turbine hub, HPT 1st-stage air seal, and HPT
2nd-stage hub. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained disk
failure, release of high energy debris, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and
possible loss of the airplane.
Actions Since AD 2026-09-02 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2026-09-02, the FAA has become aware that the
manufacturer revised PW Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) PW4G-112-A72-368, dated June
20, 2024 (PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-368) to include HPT 2nd-stage hub part number
(P/N) 53L402, which was not identified in PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-368 and
inadvertently omitted from AD 2026-09-02. Additionally, the applicability of the optional
terminating action was matched to paragraph (g)(1) of AD 2026-09-02, which is an
unrelated requirement.
FAA’s Determination
The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-368, Revision No. 1, dated
September 20, 2024, which specifies procedures for performing repetitive AUSIs on
affected HPT 2nd-stage hubs.
This proposed AD would also require the following material, which the Director
of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of June 26, 2026 (91
FR 30191, May 22, 2026).
• PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-365, Revision No. 1, dated June 20, 2024, which
specifies procedures for performing repetitive AUSIs on affected HPC 15th-stage disks.
• PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-366, dated June 20, 2024, which specifies procedures
for performing repetitive AUSIs on affected HPT 1st-stage air seals.
• PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-367, dated June 20, 2024, which specifies procedures
for performing repetitive AUSIs on affected front turbine hubs.
This material is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES
section.
Proposed AD Requirements in this NPRM
This proposed AD would require repetitive AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage disks,
front turbine hubs, HPT 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications,
and removal from service and replacement if necessary. This proposed AD would also
require, for certain serial numbers, removal from service and replacement of the HPT 1ststage air seal.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 124
engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates that 124 engines will
need AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage disk, front turbine hub, HPT 2nd-stage hub, and HPT
1st-stage air seal; and 6 engines will need replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seals.

Authority for this Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA’s authority to issue rules on
aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress
charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by
prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds
necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products
identified in this rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney RTX Corporation (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Pratt & Whitney Division United Technologies Corporation)
Engines
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2026-0902, which applies to certain Pratt & Whitney RTX Corporation (PW) Model PW4074,
PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D, PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 engines. AD
2026-09-02 requires repetitive angle ultrasonic scan inspections (AUSIs) of the highpressure compressor (HPC) 15th-stage disks, front turbine hubs, high-pressure turbine
(HPT) 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications, and removal
from service and replacement if necessary, and for certain serial numbers, removal from
service and replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. Since the FAA issued AD 202609-02, the FAA was notified that a certain part number was omitted from AD 2026-09-02
and the applicability of the optional terminating action was matched to an unrelated
requirement. This proposed AD would require repetitive AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage
disks, front turbine hubs, HPT 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack
indications, and removal from service and replacement if necessary, and for certain serial
numbers, removal from service and replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. The FAA
is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by [INSERT DATE 45
DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43
and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Background
The FAA issued AD 2026-09-02, Amendment 39-23322 (91 FR 30191, May 22,
2026) (AD 2026-09-02), for PW Model PW4074, PW4074D, PW4077, PW4077D,
PW4084D, PW4090, and PW4090-3 engines. AD 2026-09-02 was prompted by an
analysis of an event involving an International Aero Engines, LLC (IAE LLC) Model
PW1127GA-JM engine, which experienced an HPC 7th-stage integrally bladed rotor
(IBR-7) separation that resulted in an aborted takeoff. Following this event, the
manufacturer analysis found that the failure of the HPC IBR-7 was caused by a nickel
powdered metal anomaly, similar in nature to an anomaly previously observed. The
analysis also concluded that there is an increased risk of failure for additional nickel
powdered metal parts in certain nickel powdered metal production campaigns, and these
parts are susceptible to failure much earlier than previously determined. AD 2026-09-02
requires repetitive AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage disks, front turbine hubs, HPT 1st-stage
air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications, and removal from service and
replacement if necessary, and for certain serial numbers, removal from service and
replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seal. The FAA issued AD 2026-09-02 to prevent
failure of the HPC 15th-stage disk, front turbine hub, HPT 1st-stage air seal, and HPT
2nd-stage hub. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in uncontained disk
failure, release of high energy debris, damage to the engine, damage to the airplane, and
possible loss of the airplane.
Actions Since AD 2026-09-02 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2026-09-02, the FAA has become aware that the
manufacturer revised PW Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) PW4G-112-A72-368, dated June
20, 2024 (PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-368) to include HPT 2nd-stage hub part number
(P/N) 53L402, which was not identified in PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-368 and
inadvertently omitted from AD 2026-09-02. Additionally, the applicability of the optional
terminating action was matched to paragraph (g)(1) of AD 2026-09-02, which is an
unrelated requirement.
FAA’s Determination
The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-368, Revision No. 1, dated
September 20, 2024, which specifies procedures for performing repetitive AUSIs on
affected HPT 2nd-stage hubs.
This proposed AD would also require the following material, which the Director
of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of June 26, 2026 (91
FR 30191, May 22, 2026).
• PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-365, Revision No. 1, dated June 20, 2024, which
specifies procedures for performing repetitive AUSIs on affected HPC 15th-stage disks.
• PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-366, dated June 20, 2024, which specifies procedures
for performing repetitive AUSIs on affected HPT 1st-stage air seals.
• PW ASB PW4G-112-A72-367, dated June 20, 2024, which specifies procedures
for performing repetitive AUSIs on affected front turbine hubs.
This material is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES
section.
Proposed AD Requirements in this NPRM
This proposed AD would require repetitive AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage disks,
front turbine hubs, HPT 1st-stage air seals, and HPT 2nd-stage hubs for crack indications,
and removal from service and replacement if necessary. This proposed AD would also
require, for certain serial numbers, removal from service and replacement of the HPT 1ststage air seal.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 124
engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates that 124 engines will
need AUSIs of the HPC 15th-stage disk, front turbine hub, HPT 2nd-stage hub, and HPT
1st-stage air seal; and 6 engines will need replacement of the HPT 1st-stage air seals.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

Authority for this Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA’s authority to issue rules on
aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. Under that section, Congress
charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by
prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds
necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products
identified in this rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA
proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
