Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines, and Various Restricted Category Rotorcraft

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model CT7-2E1, CT7-2F1, CT7-8A, CT7-8E, CT7-8F5 engines, and various restricted category helicopters with GE Model T700-GE-700,-701A, -701C, -701D/CC, -701D, -401, -401C, CT7-2D or CT7-2D1 engines installed. This AD was prompted by at least four reports of failures of the torque reference tube magnetic insert braze joint of the power turbine drive shaft assembly within the last several months. This AD requires a phase array ultrasonic inspection of the torque reference tube magnetic insert braze joint of the power turbine drive shaft assembly for inadequate braze coverage, and repair or replacement of the power turbine drive shaft assembly if necessary. The FAA previously sent an emergency AD to all known U.S. owners and operators of these engines and helicopters and is now issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Applies to CT7 engines with any of the listed PT drive shaft assembly part numbers installed, having less than 100 hours TSN or 100 hours TSR of the torque reference tube, and with an engine, PT module, or PT shaft assembly serial number listed in GE ASB CT7-2E1 S/B 72-A0034 (dated Feb 26, 2024) or GE ASB CT7-8 S/B 72-A0118 Rev 01 (dated Feb 26, 2024). Also applies to restricted-category helicopters (Model EH-60A, HH-60L, Sikorsky S-70/S-70A/S-70C/S-70C(M)/S-70C(M1)/S-70M, and UH-60A) with GE Model T700-GE-700, -701A, -701C, -701D/CC, -701D, -401, -401C, CT7-2D, or CT7-2D1 engines installed, where the PT drive shaft assembly was installed after January 1, 2020 and has less than 100 hours TSN or TSR. PT drive shaft assemblies manufactured or repaired after January 1, 2024 are not affected by this AD.

Whether AD 2024-05547 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 compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2024-05547 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.
