Airworthiness Directive 2015-23-04
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all General Electric Company (GE) GEnx-1B turbofan engine models. This AD was prompted by reports of GEnx-1B engine oil loss. This AD requires removal and replacement of the non-conforming ball valve in the oil filler cap. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of engine oil, which could lead to failure of one or more engines, loss of thrust control, and damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2015-23-04 applies to
Applies to all GEnx-1B engines with oil filler cap P/N 2349M62G01 installed that do NOT contain the markings 'P/M BALL PP,' 'RW,' or '79-0022' after the part number on the oil filler cap scupper.
Whether AD 2015-23-04 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.
