Airworthiness Directive 2013-14-06
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; CFM International, S. A. Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain CFM International, S. A. (CFM) model CFM56-5 and CFM56-5B series turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by corrosion of the delta-P valve in the hydro-mechanical unit (HMU) fuel control caused by exposure to type TS-1 fuel. This AD requires cleaning, inspection, and repair of affected HMUs. We are issuing this AD to prevent seizure of the HMU, leading to failure of one or more engines and damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2013-14-06 applies to
Applies to CFM56-5 engines with HMU fuel control P/Ns 1348M79P02, 1348M79P03, 1348M79P04, and 1348M79P06 through 1348M79P14, and to CFM56-5B engines with HMU fuel control P/Ns 1348M79P08 through 1348M79P14, installed.
Whether AD 2013-14-06 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.
