FAA Proposes Inspections of Pratt & Whitney PW2000 Engines on 757s and C-17s Over Powder-Metal Contamination The FAA has proposed an airworthiness directive requiring boroscopic inspections of Pratt & Whitney PW2000 engines on Boeing 757s and C-17s after identifying powder-metal disk contamination in hundreds of engines. The inspections aim to identify defects akin to those in PW1000G GTFs and maintain airworthiness across commercial and military fleets.
