General Electric Company Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for GE90 Turbofan Engines

The General Electric Company (GE) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) to address a reported engine and airplane fire, requiring the replacement of a specific part in GE90 turbofan engines to prevent potential engine failure and fire. The proposed AD aims to mitigate the risk of a main heat exchanger failure, which could lead to an engine fire.
