General Electric Company Engines
This AD applies to General Electric Company CF6-80C2A1, CF6-80C2A2, CF6-80C2A3, CF6-80C2A5, CF6-80C2A5F, CF6-80C2A8, CF6-80C2B1, CF6-80C2B1F, CF6-80C2B1F1, CF6-80C2B1F2, CF6-80C2B2, CF6-80C2B2F, CF6-80C2B3F, CF6-80C2B4, CF6-80C2B4F, CF6-80C2B6, CF6-80C2B6F, CF6-80C2B6FA, CF6-80C2B7F, CF6-80C2D1F.
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) that is applicable to General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80C2 series turbofan engines. This action supersedes priority letter AD 96-09-01 that currently requires borescope inspections of the rear right hand mount link to determine if the serial number matches those listed in applicable service bulletins as improperly manufactured, and replacement, if necessary, with a serviceable part. This action references a newly revised service bulletin and bases the compliance time on the effective date of this superseding AD for engines installed on McDonnell Douglas MD-11 series aircraft. This amendment is prompted by the availability of the newly revised service bulletin. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent rear right hand mount link failure, which could result in engine separation from the aircraft.
