Airworthiness Directives; CFM International CFM56 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment revises an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to CFM International (CFMI) CFM56-5C series turbofan engines. This action establishes new life limits for certain low pressure turbine rotor (LPTR) stage 3 disks and all high pressure turbine rotor (HPTR) disks listed in the existing AD. This amendment is prompted by the results of an extensive life management program performed by the manufacturer. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent low-cycle-fatigue (LCF) failure of certain HPTR front shafts, HPTR front air seals, HPTR disks, booster spools, and LPTR stage 3 disks, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

AD establishes new life limits (cycles-since-new): HPTR front shafts P/N 1498M40P03/-05/-06 retire at 8,400 CSN; HPTR front air seals P/N 1523M34P02/-03 retire at 4,000 CSN; HPTR disks P/N 1498M43P04 retire at 7,800 CSN; booster spools P/N 337-005-210-0 retire at 13,000 CSN; LPTR stage 3 disks P/N 337-001-602-0/-605-0 retire at 7,000 CSN for CFM56-5C4 engines or 20,000 CSN for CFM56-5C2/G and -5C3/G engines. New limits published in Chapter 05 of CFM56-5C Engine Shop Manual CFMI-TP.SM.8.

Whether AD 02-22761 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 02-22761 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.
