Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company; CF6 Series Turbofan Engines

Özet

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to General Electric Company (GE) CF6-6/-45/-50 series turbofan engines, that requires an inspection for cracks in the stage 1 high pressure turbine (HPT) disk rim bolt holes, and stage 2 HPT disk rim and inner bolt holes; and replacement, if necessary, with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by a report of an uncontained stage 1 HPT disk failure which resulted in an aborted takeoff. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an uncontained stage 1 or stage 2 HPT disk failure, which could result in an inflight engine shutdown, rejected takeoff, or damage to the aircraft.
