Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model GEnx-1B64, GEnx-1B64/P1, GEnx-1B64/P2, GEnx-1B67, GEnx-1B67/P1, GEnx-1B67/P2, GEnx-1B70, GEnx- 1B70/75/P1, GEnx-1B70/75/P2, GEnx-1B70/P1, GEnx-1B70/P2, GEnx-1B70C/P1, GEnx-1B70C/P2, GEnx-1B74/75/P1, GEnx-1B74/75/P2, GEnx-1B76/P2, Genx- 1B76A/P2, GEnx-2B67, GEnx-2B67/P, and GEnx-2B67B engines. This AD was prompted by a report of a quality escape for certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage 5 blisks manufactured from a single forged ingot with a nonconforming indication. This AD requires replacement of certain HPC stage 5 blisks with parts eligible for installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Part-conditional — 2357M35P02.

Applies only to engines with a high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage 5 blisk, P/N 2357M35P02, installed, bearing serial number TMT214T8, TMT214T9, or TMT218UA.

Whether AD 2026-04-09 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 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 2026-04-09 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.
