Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) GE90-90B, GE90-94B, GE90-110B1, and GE90-115B model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed that certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 1 disks, HPT stage 2 disks, and stages 7-9 compressor rotor spools were manufactured from powder metal material suspected to contain iron inclusion. This AD requires the replacement of the affected HPT stage 1 disks, HPT stage 2 disks, and stages 7-9 compressor rotor spools. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Part-conditional1847M95G04, 1711M47G13, 1865M14P04, 2032M23G02.

Applies only to engines with an installed high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 1 disk, HPT stage 2 disk, or stages 7-9 compressor rotor spool bearing a specific part number and serial number listed in Table 1 to paragraph (c) of the AD.

Whether AD 2022-23-09 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 2022-23-09 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.
