The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) CF34-10E model turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed Teflon material in the A-sump oil strainer (strainer assembly) screen after several reports of in-flight shutdowns (IFSDs) and unscheduled engine removals (UERs). This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive visual inspections of the strainer assembly screen. As a terminating action to the initial and repetitive visual inspections, this proposed AD would require the replacement of the stationary oil seal at the No. 1 forward bearing. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-19-28, which applies to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, -100 IGW, -200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW airplanes; and AD 2014-16-16, which applies to all of those airplane models. AD 2014-16-16 requires, for certain airplanes, retorquing and replacing the pylon lower link fittings, and for all airplanes, repetitively retorquing those fittings. AD 2018-19-28 requires modifying the attaching parts of the pylon lower link fittings. Since the FAA issued AD 2014-16-16 and AD 2018-19-28, the FAA finds it necessary to change the compliance time for the modification.

The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
