EASA AD US-2018-16-07
SUPERSEDED BY FAA AD 2019-02-01
FAA Airworthiness Directive 2018-16-07 is a final rule addressing certain General Electric GEnx turbofan engines, including models GEnx-1B54 through GEnx-2B67 variants, equipped with specific high-pressure turbine (HPT) stator cases. This directive mandates the removal and replacement of affected HPT stator cases due to unapproved weld repairs discovered at a manufacturing facility. The AD aims to prevent potential engine failure, fire, and consequent damage to the airplane.
