Airworthiness Directive 2009-24-06
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8E Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for GE CF34-8E series turbofan engines with certain part number (P/N) full authority digital electronic controls (FADECs) installed. That AD currently requires removing certain P/N FADECs. This superseding AD requires removal of 12 more P/Ns of FADECs. This AD results from 20 additional reports received of loss of thrust control events since AD 2008-16-01 was issued. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of thrust control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2009-24-06 applies to
Applies only when a full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) with one of the listed part numbers is installed.
Whether AD 2009-24-06 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.
