Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Model CF6-80C2D1F Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) Model CF6-80C2D1F turbofan engines. This AD requires modifying the latching system of the fan reverser. This AD results from 13 reports of released thrust reverser hardware. We are issuing this AD to prevent release of the thrust reverser cascade on landing, which could result in runway debris and a possible hazard to other aircraft.

MakesGeneral Electric Company (Ge)
ModelsCF6-80C2D1F, CF6

Applies to CF6-80C2D1F engines that have not incorporated MRAS SB No. CF6-80C2 S/B 78-1068 Rev 2 (dated May 16, 2005) or an earlier revision or original issue, or SB No. CF6-80C2 S/B 78-1077 Rev 1 (dated May 16, 2005) or original issue; AND have not incorporated MRAS SB No. CF6-80C2 S/B 78-1078 Rev 1 (dated May 16, 2005) or original issue; AND have not incorporated MRAS SB No. CF6-80C2 S/B 78-1088 Rev 5 (dated May 24, 2005) or an earlier revision or original issue.

Whether AD 2006-06-08 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 2006-06-08 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.
