A Cessna 501 airplane, equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada (PWC) JT15D-1A turbofan engines, experienced a No. 1 (left) engine uncontained failure during takeoff roll from Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), Opa-Locka, Florida. The pilot was not injured during the incident.
Post-event examination of the airplane revealed that damage was limited to the No. 1 engine and nacelle structure.
Probable Cause and Findings
An uncontained left engine failure caused by a low cycle fatigue crack that originated from a manufacturing machining groove on the high pressure compressor impeller aft face. Contributing to the incident was service bulletin borescope inspection criteria that was insufficient to detect the presence of machining grooves on the high pressure compressor impeller at the time the incident engine was inspected in May 2004.
