AD: General Electric

AD NUMBER: 2007-11-18
MANUFACTURER: General Electric
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-11-18
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) CF6-50C series turbofan engines.

This AD requires reworking certain forward fan stator cases and installing a fan module secondary containment shield.

This AD results from reports of uncontained fan blade failures causing damage and separation of airplane hydraulic lines.

We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained fan blade failures, which can result in separation of airplane hydraulic lines, damage to critical airplane systems, and possible loss of airplane control.
