Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines

FAA / Federal Register · 2024-14873

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all General Electric Company (GE) Model CF34-10E2A1, CF34-10E6, CF34-10E6A1, CF34-10E7, and CF34-10E7-B engines with certain part- numbered high-pressure turbine (HPT) shroud/low pressure turbine (LPT) nozzle assemblies installed. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of failed retention features of the inner and outer support air ducts (commonly referred to as spoolies) discovered during engine disassembly. This proposed AD would require a visual inspection of the combustion case for wear and gouges, repair if necessary, and rework of the affected HPT shroud/LPT nozzle assemblies. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
