flee 5 Report post Posted July 10, 2017 General Electric has issued a service bulletin calling on airlines to perform regular inspections of first and second stage high-pressure turbine disks on some CF6 turbofans, a move that follows an uncontained engine failure in 2016, GE confirms. In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration may issue a related airworthiness directive, according to documents released by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The board's documents provide an update of the investigation into the uncontained failure of a CF6-80C2B6 on an American Airlines Boeing 767-300 at Chicago on 28 October 2016. The incident and subsequent fire badly damaged the aircraft, registration N345AN, and caused serious injuries to one passenger.
