Compliance required as indicated.

To ensure adequate life limit margin for tenth stage compressor disk, P/N 701810, the cyclic life limits on these disks have been reduced below the figures currently approved. Unless already accomplished, remove from service the tenth stage compressor disk prior to exceeding the revised life limit listed below or within the next 25 cycles in service after the effective date of this AD, whichever comes later.

Engine Model Previous Life Limit (Cycles) Revised Life Limit (Cycles) JT3D-3 30,000 25,000 JT3D-3B 30,000 25,000 JT3D-7 25,000 23,000

If a disk has been used in more than one engine model, the disk is limited to the lowest cyclic life permitted for the engine models in which it has been exposed.

This amendment becomes effective February 19, 1975.
