    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 10496
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive for certain General Electric turbofan engines due to safety concerns. Following an inspection, it was found that cracks in the high-pressure turbine rotor components could lead to engine and aircraft damage. The directive would require regular inspections and potentially remove certain parts if cracks are detected. The FAA has invited public comments on this proposed rule until April 8, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to check certain airplane engines for cracks to make sure they are safe. If they find a crack, they might have to take out and change some parts to prevent problems.
