The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-45A, CF6-50A, CF6-50C, and CF6- 50E series turbofan engines. This proposed AD would require removing from service pre-GE Service Bulletin (SB) No. CF6-50 S/B 72-1268 configuration low pressure turbine (LPT) stage 2 interstage seal assemblies and stage 3 interstage seal assemblies. The proposed AD would also require installing new or reworked configuration stage 2 interstage seal assemblies and stage 3 interstage seal assemblies. This proposed AD results from reports of fan mid shaft separation, leading to separation of the LPT stage 1 disk, disk overspeed, and uncontained engine failure. We are proposing this AD to prevent uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
