AD/CF6/10 Amdt 1 Fuel Manifold Cancelled (Cth)

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

On the effective date specified below, and for the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below revokes Airworthiness Directive AD/CF6/10 Amdt 1.

General Electric Turbine Engines - CF6 Series

AD/CF6/10 Amdt 1 Fuel Manifold 8/2006

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 3 August 2006.

Background:

The original issue of this AD specified inspection and replacement of the subject manifolds.

Amendment 1 specified the FAA Telegraphic Emergency Airworthiness Directive T89-03-52 as the basis for this AD in lieu of the GE Alert Service Bulletin 73-038 which formed the original basis.  The FAA then deleted the inspection requirement and introduced a new cyclic life limit of 1700 cycles.

The FAA issued AD 90-26-01 which superseded the requirements of FAA AD
89-03-52 referred to in this AD.  Therefore the requirements to replace fuel manifolds as detailed in this AD have been superseded by those detailed in AD/CF6/16.
