Resumo da Diretiva

PT-BRTradução automática

A FAA está adotando uma nova diretiva de aeronavegabilidade (DA) para determinados motores Model CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34-8C5A1, CF34-8C5A2, CF34-8C5A3, CF34-8C5B1, CF34-8E2, CF34-8E2A1, CF34-8E5, CF34-8E5A1, CF34-8E5A2, CF34-8E6 e CF34-8E6A1 da General Electric Company (GE). Esta DA foi motivada por uma redução prevista na vida cíclica do flange frontal do conjunto da câmara de combustão (CCC). Esta DA exige inspeções por líquido penetrante fluorescente (LPF) do CCC para detecção de qualquer indicação e substituição, se necessário. A FAA está emitindo esta DA para abordar a condição insegura nestes produtos.

ENOriginal (Federal Register)

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34- 8C5A1, CF34-8C5A2, CF34-8C5A3, CF34-8C5B1, CF34-8E2, CF34-8E2A1, CF34- 8E5, CF34-8E5A1, CF34-8E5A2, CF34-8E6, and CF34-8E6A1 engines. This AD was prompted by a predicted reduction in the cyclic life of the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) forward flange. This AD requires fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) of the CCA for any indications and replacement if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34-8C5A1, CF34-8C5A2, CF34-8C5A3, CF34-8C5B1, CF34-8E2, CF34-8E2A1, CF34-8E5, CF34-8E5A1, CF34-8E5A2, CF34-8E6, and CF34-8E6A1 engines. This AD was prompted by a predicted reduction in the cyclic life of the combustion chamber assembly (CCA) forward flange. This AD requires fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) of the CCA for any indications and replacement if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective July 23, 2025. ADDRESSES: AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAAFAA-2024-2712; or in person at Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alexei Marqueen, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th Street, Des Moines, WA 98198; phone: (781) 238-7178; email: alexei.t.marqueen@faa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain GE Model CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34-8C5A1, CF34-8C5A2, CF34-8C5A3, CF34-8C5B1, CF34-8E2, CF34-8E2A1, CF34-8E5, CF34-8E5A1, CF34-8E5A2, CF34-8E6, and CF34-8E6A1 engines. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2024 (89 FR 105483). The NPRM was prompted by a predicted reduction in the cyclic life of the CCA forward flange. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require FPIs of the CCA for any indications and replacement if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received comments from four commenters. The commenters were the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), Fuji Dream Airlines, Horizon Air, and Japan Airlines. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. Support for the NPRM ALPA expressed support for the proposed AD. Request for Clarification of Procedures for FPI of the CCA Fuji Dream Airlines and Horizon Air requested that the FAA clarify the procedure for the FPI of the CCA in the NPRM. Fuji Dream Airlines proposed that the FAA revise paragraphs (g)(3) and (5) of the proposed AD to include reference to Paragraph 3., “Accomplishment Instructions” of GE CF34-8E Service Bulletin (SB) 72-A0250, dated May 1, 2024 (GE SB 72- ( printed page 25885) A0250, dated May 1, 2024…
