Boeing Issues Airworthiness Directive for 747 Series Planes Powered by GE CF6-80C2 Engines

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has adopted a new airworthiness directive requiring Boeing Model 747 series airplanes powered by General Electric (GE) CF6-80C2 series engines to undergo repetitive inspections and torque checks to identify fastener discrepancies, followed by modification of the fasteners if necessary, in order to prevent potential separation of the engine and strut from the airplane.
