FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for General Electric Company Turbofan Engines

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) to address an unsafe condition on General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C and CF34-8E model turbofan engines, requiring initial and repetitive inspections of the operability bleed valve (OBV) fuel tubes, OBV bleed air manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings, as well as replacement of OBVs or related OBV hardware that fail inspection.
