Airworthiness Directives; CFE Company Model CFE738-1-1B Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to CFE Company model CFE738-1-1B turbofan engines, that requires new life limits for certain HPC rotor components in all engines. This amendment is prompted by a reduction in the calculated service life of certain compressor rotor rotating parts to values below currently approved service lives. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of certain HPC rotor components, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Installed on but not limited to Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000 series airplanes.

Whether AD 2000-23-12 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 2000-23-12 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.
