General Electric Company CF6-6, CF6-45, and CF6-50 Series Turbofan Engines
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2002-05-03. Comply with the one in force.
The Federal Register printed this AD without its applicability text. Read it at the link below.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to General Electric Company (GE) CF6-6, CF6-45, and CF6-50 series turbofan engines, that requires revisions to the Time Limits Section of the manufacturer's Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to include required enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This action would add additional eddy current inspections (ECI) for the high pressure turbine rotor (HPTR) Stage 1 and 2 disks. This action is prompted by additional focused inspection procedures that have been developed by the manufacturer. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent critical life-limited rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
