Required actions
(1) Within 500 flight cycles (FCs) after the effective date of this AD, perform a visual inspection of the cushioned loop clamp (p-clamp), significant item number (SIN) 34282, to verify the p-clamp is undamaged and installed. (i) Thereafter, perform the visual inspection required by (g)(1) of this AD at intervals not to exceed 500 FCs since the last inspection. (ii) [Reserved] (2) If, during any visual inspection required by paragraphs (g)(1) or (g)(1)(i) of this AD, the p-clamp (SIN 34282) is outside of the limits in paragraph 3.B.(4) of GE GEnx-1B Service Bulletin (SB) 73-0080 R01, dated August 29, 2019, or if the p-clamp (SIN 34282) is missing, perform a spot fluorescent penetrant inspection of the outer fuel manifold, part number (P/N) 2403M46G01, SIN 34302, using Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph 3.B.(4)(b), of GE GEnx-1B SB 73-0080 R01, dated August 29, 2019. (i) If a crack or a sign of fuel leakage is found, before further flight, remove the outer fuel manifold, P/N 2403M46G01, SIN 34302, from service and replace with a part eligible for installation. (ii) [Reserved] (3) Within 500 FCs after the effective date of this AD, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 500 FCs from the last p-clamp replacement, replace the p-clamp (SIN 34282) with a new p-clamp (SIN 34282). Complete this required action after performing the visual inspections required by paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(1)(i) of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of a crack in the outer fuel manifold causing fuel leakage. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the outer fuel manifold. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in engine fire and damage to the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.

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.
