AD: General Electric

AD NUMBER: 2006-12-24
MANUFACTURER: General Electric
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2006-12-24
SUMMARY:
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company(GE) CF6-45/-50 series turbofan engines. That AD currently requires an initial and repetitive onwing visual inspection of the side links of the five-link forward mount assembly for cracks, and replacement of the side links and pylon attachment bolts and inspection of the fail-safe bolt and platform lug if the side links are cracked. That AD also requires a shop-level refurbishment of the side links as a terminating action to the on-wing inspection program. This ad requires inspecting and refurbishing the side link at every exposure of the side link. This AD also requires the same actions on certain part number side links installed on CF6-80A turbofan engines. This AD results from a report of a cracked side link. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the side links and possible engine separation from the airplane.
