AD 2016-06-08 Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Models named: 787-8, 787-9. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 787-8 and 787-9 airplanes, certificated in any category, powered by General Electric (GE) GEnx engines.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 7 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Certificate Limitations chapter of the applicable Boeing 787 AFM to include the statement provided in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. This may be done by inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM. Figure 1 to Paragraph ( g ) of This AD Engine Operational Limits Cold Weather Operations Fan Ice Removal In order to avoid possible fan damage and engine failure, when in icing conditions above 12,500 feet MSL, the flight crew must comply with the Cold Weather Operations Additional Fan Ice Removal procedure contained in the Operating Procedures chapter of this manual.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a recent engine fan blade rub event that caused an in-flight non-restartable power loss. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced fan tip clearance, which could result in engine damage and a possible in-flight non-restartable power loss of one or both engines.
Affected ADs
None.
