AD: GE

AD NUMBER: 2003-05-10R1
MANUFACTURER:
General Electric
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-05-10 R1


SUMMARY: This amendment revises an existing airworthiness directive (AD), that applies to General Electric Company (GE) CF34-3A1, -3B, and -3B1 turbofan engines with scavenge screens part numbers (P/Ns) 4047T95P01 and 5054T86G02 installed in the B-sump oil scavenge system. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive visual inspections and cleaning of the B-sump scavenge screens until a screenless fitting is installed. This amendment requires the same initial and repetitive visual inspections and cleaning of the B-sump scavenge screens until a screenless fitting is installed. This amendment also corrects a typographical error, and introduces a less restrictive terminating action schedule. This amendment is prompted by the need to correct a typographical error and by the need to introduce a less restrictive terminating action schedule. We are issuing this AD to prevent B-sump scavenge screen blockage due to coking which could result in ignition of B-sump oil in the secondary air system, fan drive shaft separation, and uncontained engine failure.
