This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance and information on
acceptable methods, but not the only methods of compliance with
Sec. 33.14 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. Section 33.14 contains requirements of life
management requirements applicable to the design and life management of
titanium alloy high energy rotating parts of aircraft engines. Although
this AC does refer to regulatory requirements that are mandatory, this
AC is not, in itself, mandatory. This AC neither changes any regulatory
requirements nor authorizes changes in or deviations from the
regulatory requirements.
This advisory circular would be published under the authority
granted to the Administrator by 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701-44702,
44704 and would provide guidance for the requirements in 14 CFR part
33.
Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on December 2, 1999.

Acting Manager, Engine and Propeller Directorate, Aircraft
Certification Service.
