## Abstract

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain CFM International (CFMI) CFM56 series turbofan engines, that requires revisions to the Airworthiness Limitations Section of applicable Engine Shop Manuals (ESMs). These revisions incorporate required enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This amendment requires the addition of CFM56 engine models to the applicability section of the AD, and the introduction of additional inspections. This amendment is prompted by additional focused inspection procedures that have been developed by the manufacturer. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent critical life-limited rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
