AD: General Electric

AD NUMBER: 2003-02-07
MANUFACTURER: General Electric
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-02-07
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), that is applicable to General Electric Company CF6-50 and CF6-80C2 turbofan engines. This amendment requires replacement of certain existing CF6-50 and CF6-80C2 low pressure turbine (LPT) shrouds with new design LPT shrouds. This amendment is prompted by 37 LPT uncontained events on the CF6-50, 24 uncontained events on the CF6-80C2 engine models since 1993, and the development and certification of newly designed shrouds that will improve LPT containment capability. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent uncontained engine failure and possible airplane damage.
