AD 2004-26-02 Airworthiness Directives; GE Aircraft Engines (GE) CF34-3A, CF34-3A2, CF34-1A, CF34-3A1, CF34-3B, and CF34-3B1 Series Turbofan Engines
Applicability*9
This AD applies to GE CF34-3A, CF34-3A2, CF34-1A, CF34-3A1, CF34-3B, and CF34-3B1 series turbofan engines with high pressure compressor (HPC) forward spool, part number (P/N) 6078T56P03 or 6078T56P04, installed. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Bombardier series Business Jet Model CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), Bombardier series Business Jet Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604), and Bombardier series Regional Jet Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 and 440) airplanes.
Compliance
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified unless the actions have already been done. HPC Spool Replacement (f) For CF34-3B engines, remove from service HPC forward spools, P/Ns 6078T56P03 and 6078T56P04 at the first piece-part exposure after 6,000 cycles-since-new (CSN), but no later than 20,000 CSN. (g) For CF34-3A, CF34-3A2, CF34-1A, CF34-3A1, and CF34-3B1 engines, remove from service HPC forward spools, P/Ns 6078T56P03 and 6078T56P04 at the first piece-part exposure after 6,000 CSN, but no later than 22,000 CSN. (h) After the effective date of this AD: (1) Do not install any HPC forward spool, P/N 6078T56P03. (2) Do not install any HPC forward spool, P/N 6078T56P04, with more than 0 CSN. Definition (i) For the purpose of this AD, the definition of piece-part exposure for the HPC forward spool is when the spool is completely disassembled. Alternative Methods of
Unsafe condition
This AD results from an updated low-cycle fatigue (LCF) analysis performed on HPC forward spools, P/Ns 6078T56P03 and 6078T56P04, by GE. We are issuing this AD to prevent LCF cracks and failure of the HPC forward spool, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
