U.S. regulators are requiring immediate inspections and possible repairs to Pratt & Whitney engines on some Airbus passenger jets because of a manufacturing problem that could cause parts to wear out sooner than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it will require ultrasonic inspections of 20 engines on U.S.-registered planes within 30 days. The same flaw affects 202 engines worldwide, the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 Airbus deliveries rose 11% in first seven months<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA rule replaces a directive from October, which told aircraft operators to have the engines checked at their next shop visit, and followed a disclosure last month by P&W that about 200 engines around the world would need quick inspections and potential replacement of engine disks, AP<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The affected engines are among 1,200 that P&W estimates will need to be removed from planes and inspected within nine to 12 months because powder metal used in the manufacturing process was contaminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA said it acted after further analysis of an engine shutdown last December that required pilots of an Airbus A320neo to abort a takeoff. Neither the agency nor P&W would identify the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
