Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company GE90 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain General Electric Company (GE) GE90 series turbofan engines, that requires reducing the cyclic life limits for certain fan mid shafts with undesirable microstructure, and removing from service those mid fan shafts prior to exceeding the new limits and replacing with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by reports of magnetic particle inspections conducted by the manufacturer identifying segregation in the raw material, resulting in lower fatigue life properties. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fan mid shaft failure, which could result in a total loss of thrust and inflight engine shutdown.

Part-conditional — 1767M71G01, 1767M71G02, 1767M75G02.

Applies only to engines with fan mid shaft, part numbers 1767M71G01, 1767M71G02, and 1767M75G02, installed.

Whether AD 2000-03-02 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2000-03-02 complied with on your aircraft?

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
