Applicability*9

This AD applies to General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80E1A1, -80E1A2, -80E1A3, --80E1A4, and -80E1A4/B turbofan engines. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus Industrie A330 series 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. Initial Inspection (f) For HPC cases, P/N 1509M97G07 and P/N 2083M69G03, perform an initial fluorescent-penetrant inspection (FPI) of circumferential flange spotfaces at the first hole in the aft flange above and below each horizontal split line flange, at or before reaching 7,300 cycles-since-new. See Figure 1 of this AD for reference. Information on inspecting these areas can be found in the ALS of GE Engine Manual GEK 99376, Revision 19, dated August 15, 2005. BILLING CODE 4910-13-P ER09NO05.011 BILLING CODE 4910-13-C Repetitive Inspections (g) Perform repetitive FPI of circumferential flange spotfaces at the first hole in the aft flange above and below each horizontal split line flange, within 3,700 cycles-since-last-inspection. See Figure 1 of this AD for reference. Information on inspecting these areas can be found in the ALS of GE Engine Manual GEK 99376, Revision 19, dated August 15, 2005. Alternative Methods of

Unsafe condition

This AD results from the discovery that high pressure compressor (HPC) cases, part number (P/N) 1509M97G07 and P/N 2083M69G03, were inadvertently left out of the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS), Chapter 05-21-02, of GE Engine Manual GEK 99376, Revision 17. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HPC case aft flange, due to cracking.
