Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-80E1 Model Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to General Electric Company CF6-80E1 model turbofan engines. This action requires flex borescope inspections of high pressure turbine (HPT) stage two (S2) nozzle guide vanes (NGV) installed in CF6-80E1 model turbofan engines. This amendment is prompted by an uncontained engine failure attributed to HPT S2 NGV distress. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent blade failure from HPT S2 NGV distress, which could result in an uncontained engine failure.

Part-conditional — 1647M84G09, 1647M84G10.

Applies to CF6-80E1 engines with HPT stage-2 nozzle guide vane (NGV) P/N 1647M84G09 or 1647M84G10 installed; requires flex borescope inspection/reinspection for cracking in the airfoil outer fillet per GE SB CF6-80E1 S/B 72-0217 Rev.1, on schedules keyed to cycles-since-overhaul. Engines with NGV P/N 1647M84G05, 1647M84G06, 2080M47G01, or 2080M47G02 installed are explicitly not affected by this AD.

Whether AD 2002-01-04 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 2002-01-04 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.
