PRODUCT: All General Electric Company (GE) GE90-76B, -77B, -85B, -90B, and -94B turbofan engines.

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: This AD requires performing an eddy current inspection (ECI) or ultrasonic inspection (USI) of the high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage 8-10 spool and removing from service those parts that fail inspection.

This AD was prompted by an uncontained failure of the HPC stage 8-10 spool, leading to an airplane fire.
