Airworthiness Directive 2005-10-05
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; CFM International CFM56-5, -5B, and -5C Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for CFM International CFM56-5, -5B, and -5C series turbofan engines. This AD requires removing certain part number (P/N) air turbine starters from service. This AD results from several reports of uncontained failures of air turbine starters where high-energy particles were not contained within the containment feature of the starter. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained failures of air turbine starters, which could result in damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2005-10-05 applies to
Applies only to engines with the listed air turbine starter part numbers installed (cross-referenced VIN P/Ns: 301-807-004-0, 301-807-005-0, 301-781-203-0, 301-806-602-0, 301-806-802-0, 301-790-903-0, 301-806-702-0, 301-806-902-0). Installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A319, A320, A321, and A340 airplanes.
Whether AD 2005-10-05 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.
