Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80C2 Turbofan Engines

Короткий зміст

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for GE CF6-80C2 turbofan engines with certain part number (P/N) high pressure turbine stage 2 nozzle guide vanes (HPT S2 NGVs) installed. This AD requires flex borescope inspections of HPT S2 NGVs installed in CF6- 80C2 turbofan engines. This AD results from an uncontained engine failure due to HPT S2 NGV distress. We are issuing this AD to prevent blade separation from HPT S2 NGV distress, which could result in an uncontained engine failure.
