AD: General Electric

AD NUMBER: 2005-08-04
MANUFACTURER:
General Electric
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-08-04
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for GE CF6-45 and CF6-50 series turbofan engines. This AD requires reviewing accumulated cyclic-life records of 10 life-limited rotating parts, correcting those records, and removing from service parts that exceed the low-cycle-fatigue (LCF) life limits published in the Engine Manual Chapter 5, Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS). This AD results from an error in a tracking database that subtracted flight cycles of certain serial number (SN) parts from the actual accumulated cycles. We are issuing this AD to prevent rotating parts that may have exceeded their LCF life limit from failing, leading to uncontained engine failure.
