Airworthiness Directive 2011-07-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-45 and CF6-50 Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-45 and CF6-50 series turbofan engines. That AD currently requires replacing certain forward and aft centerbodies of the long fixed core exhaust nozzle (LFCEN) assembly. This AD adds certain new forward and aft centerbody part numbers (P/Ns) to the list requiring replacement. This AD was prompted by the discovery of more LFCEN forward and aft centerbody P/Ns that require replacement. We are issuing this AD to prevent the forward and aft centerbody of the LFCEN assembly from separating from the engine, causing damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2011-07-01 applies to
Applies only to engines with a long fixed core exhaust nozzle (LFCEN) assembly forward centerbody P/N 1313M55G01 or G02, 9076M28G05/G06/G08/G09/G10, or 9076M82G01 or G03, and aft centerbody P/N 1313M56G01 or 9076M46G02/G04/G05, installed.
Whether AD 2011-07-01 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.
