Critical Alert for LEAP-1A Operators: Engine Stall Events Linked to IPCV Failure

A critical Technical Follow-Up (TFU 36.11.00112) from Airbus details an urgent issue affecting LEAP-1A engines on A320neo family aircraft.

The Issue: 36 events of "ENG STALL" ECAM alerts have been reported during climb, cruise, or descent. While thrust was recoverable, each event presents a significant inflight disruption and safety concern.

Root Cause Identified: Investigations by Airbus, CFM, Safran Nacelles, and Liebherr have pinpointed the cause:

The stall is triggered by an Intermediate Pressure Check Valve (IPCV) failing stuck open, causing air recirculation during bleed source switching.

The valve failure is due to bushing migration inside the IPCV.

The root cause of this migration is an unexpectedly high IPCV opening speed during take-off with bleeds off. This is caused by pressure accumulation from a higher leakage rate in the High Pressure Valve (HPV) compared to the IPCV and Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV).

Affected Parts: This issue impacts both pre-mod (P/N ER8040G01) and post-mod (P/N ER18000G01) IPCVs. 18 units of each have been found with stiff/flappers.

Status & Next Steps:

A product improvement to prevent bushing migration is under review.

A feasibility study is underway, with a planning update to follow.

Notably, previous IPCV damages linked to VSB BD70CR36-032 are confirmed as unrelated to these stall events.

This TFU underscores the importance of robust systems engineering and cross-supplier collaboration in resolving complex, intermittent faults.

If you know someone that is trying to get their A&P. This is an amazing site for information.

If you are provided a tire like this one on your practical test, can you dispatch or not dispatch, and why? If you have taken the Michelin Tire Expert training on line, or if you have read the chapter 13 on tires in the FAA Airframe handbook you should know the answer off hand. I happen to use the Michelin Tire manual as data on tire projects.

Tread
The tread is the crown area of the tire designed to come in contact with the ground. It is a rubber compound formulated to resist wear, abrasion, cutting, and cracking. It also is made to resist heat build-up. Most modern aircraft tire tread is formed with circumferential grooves that create tire ribs. The grooves provide cooling and help channel water from under the tire in wet conditions to increase adhesion to the ground surface.

Tread Depth & Wear Pattern
Evenly worn tread is a sign of proper tire maintenance. Uneven tread wear has a cause that should be investigated and corrected. Follow all manufacturer instructions specific to the aircraft when determining the extent and serviceability of a worn tire. In the absence of this information, remove any tire that has been worn to the bottom of a tread groove along more than 1⁄8 of the circumference of the tire. If either the protector ply on a radial tire or the reinforcing ply on a bias tire is exposed for more than 1⁄8 of the tire circumference, the tire should also be removed. A properly maintained evenly worn tire usually reaches its wear limits at the centerline of the tire.

Reference the FAA Airframe Mechanic Handbook FAA-H-8083-31B, Chapter 13, page 13-79 for more information.
