General Electric Company Engines
This AD applies to General Electric Company CF6-80A, CF6-80A1, CF6-80A2, CF6-80A3.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80A series turbofan engines, that requires an inspection for cracks in the stage 1 high pressure turbine (HPT) disk rim bolt holes. 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 HPT disk failure, which could result in an inflight engine shutdown, aborted takeoff, or damage to the aircraft.
