Airworthiness Directive 2005-13-11
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CT64-820-4 Turboprop Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CT64-820-4 turboprop engines with stage 1 turbine disk and shaft, part number (P/N) 6004T47P03 or 4921T10P02 installed. This AD requires removing from service these stage 1 turbine disk and shafts at reduced compliance times. This AD results from the discovery by the manufacturer of low-cycle-fatigue (LCF) cracks found in stage 1 turbine disk and shafts, P/Ns 6004T47P03 and 4921T10P02. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the stage 1 turbine disk and shaft, resulting in damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2005-13-11 applies to
Applies only to engines with stage 1 turbine disk and shaft, P/N 6004T47P03 or 4921T10P02, installed. Installed on, but not limited to, DeHavilland DHC-5D Buffalo airplanes.
Whether AD 2005-13-11 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:
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.
