FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for GE CF6-80C2 and CF6-80E1 Turbofan Engines

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80C2 and CF6-80E1 series turbofan engines to prevent engine separation from the airplane due to potential loss of structural integrity of the mount system. The proposed AD would require installing doubler pads or replacing affected LPT cases.
