Airworthiness Directives; GE Aircraft Engines CJ610 Series Turbojet Engines and CF700 Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to GE Aircraft Engines (GEAE) CJ610 series turbojet and CF700 series turbofan engines. This action requires removal of certain unapproved parts before further flight. This amendment is prompted by findings that life-limited parts, with forged and inaccurate records, have been introduced into the field and might be installed on the affected engines. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent the use of unapproved parts. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Which aircraft AD 00-597 applies to

Applicability depends on the aircraft’s type certificate — check it against the specific tail.

Whether AD 00-597 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 00-597 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.
