AD: General Electric

AD NUMBER: 2007-19-06
MANUFACTURER: General Electric
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-19-06
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for GEAE CF6-45A, -45A2, -50A, -50C, -50CA, -50C1, -50C2, -50C2B, -50C2D, -50C2F, -50C2R, -50E, -50E1, -50E2, and -50E2B turbofan engines.

This AD requires replacing the compressor discharge pressure (CDP) restoring spring assembly on certain main engine controls (MECs) or re-marking MECs that already incorporate GEAE Service Bulletin (SB) No. CF6-50 S/B 73-0119, dated March 21, 2005.

This AD results from reports of five events involving fractured CDP restoring spring assemblies.

We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of engine thrust control that could lead to loss of control of the airplane.
