Airworthiness Directive 2011-19-03
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; General Electric Company (GE) CT7-8, CT7-8A, CT7-8A1, CT7-8E, and CT7-8F5 Turboshaft Engines
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD was prompted by four reports of unrecoverable engine stalls, during hover in a left-roll attitude. This AD requires the installation of an accessory gearbox (AGB) axis-A oil slinger nut to the axis-A shaft assembly. We are issuing this AD to prevent an unrecoverable engine stall, leading to a helicopter forced landing or accident.
Which aircraft AD 2011-19-03 applies to
Serial number restrictions vary by model: CT7-8 applies to all S/Ns; CT7-8A S/N 947565 and below; CT7-8A1 S/N 530017 and below; CT7-8E S/N 953068 and below, and S/N 953070 through 953072; CT7-8F5 S/N 731005 and below, and S/N 731007, 731008, 817021, and 817022.
Whether AD 2011-19-03 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.
