Is AD 2009-05-02 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2009-05-02 requires a repetitive inspection every 4 months. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Q: Which aircraft does AD 2009-05-02 apply to?

AD 2009-05-02 applies to General Electric — models CF6-80C2A1, CF6-80C2A2, CF6-80C2A3, CF6-80C2A5, CF6-80C2A8, CF6-80C2A5F, CF6-80C2B1, CF6-80C2B2. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company CF6-80C2 and CF6-80E1 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80C2 and CF6-80E1 series turbofan engines with fuel manifolds part numbers (P/Ns) 1303M31G12 and 1303M32G12, installed in drainless fuel manifold assemblies (introduced by GE Aircraft Engines (GEAE) Service Bulletins (SB) CF6-80C2 S/B 73- 0253 and CF6-80E1 S/B 73-0026). This AD requires removing the loop clamps that hold the fuel manifold to the compressor rear frame (CRF) damper brackets, inspecting the fuel manifold for wear at each clamp location, and replacing the clamps with new, zero-time parts. This AD also requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) and air carrier's Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Programs (CAMP) to require repetitive fuel manifold inspection and loop clamp replacement. This AD results from reports of fuel leaks during engine operation. We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel leaks that could result in an under- cowl fire and damage to the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 4 months. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Part-conditional — 1303M31G12, 1303M32G12.

Applies only to engines with fuel manifold P/N 1303M31G12 or 1303M32G12 installed in a drainless fuel manifold assembly (introduced by GE SB CF6-80C2 S/B 73-0253 for CF6-80C2 models, or SB CF6-80E1 S/B 73-0026 for CF6-80E1 models).

Whether AD 2009-05-02 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 2009-05-02 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.
