Discussion
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
CFM International S.A. (CFM) CFM56–
3, –3B, and –3C turbofan engines. This
AD was prompted by a report of dualengine loss of thrust control (LOTC) that
resulted in an air turn back. This AD
requires initial and repetitive checks of
the variable stator vane (VSV) actuation
system in the high-pressure compressor
(HPC). We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these
products.
DATES: This AD is effective August 18,
2017.
ADDRESSES: For service information

Center, 1 Neumann Way, M/D Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
U.S. Office of Special Counsel.
Document Management Facility, U.S.
Department of Transportation, Docket
Operations, M–30, West Building
Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington,
DC 20590.
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to certain CFM CFM56–3, –3B,
and –3C turbofan engines. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
March 9, 2017 (82 FR 13077). The
NPRM was prompted by a report of
dual-engine LOTC that resulted in an air
turn back. The NPRM proposed to
require initial and repetitive checks of
the VSV actuation system in the HPC.
We are issuing this AD to maintain the
actuators ability to fully reach
commanded position, and prevent
LOTC and reduced control of the
airplane.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this final rule.
The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Request To Change Applicability
CFM, Boeing, Anonymous, and
Jet2.com requested that the
Applicability paragraph be limited to
engines operating in the tropical regions
specified in CFM Service Bulletin (SB)
CFM56–3 S/B 72–1169, rather than
fleet-wide. A change of applicability to
specific regions would avoid
unnecessary burden for operators that
do not fly in tropical zones and do not
fly less than 150 hours per month.
We disagree. Operators may
experience high moisture environments
outside of the specified tropical zone
that is described in CFM SB CFM56–3
S/B 72–1169. Operators that are outside
of the specified tropical zone have
experienced restricted VSV movement
events. We did not change this AD.
