Abstract
This amendment supersedes an emergency airworthiness directive (AD) that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of CFMI CFM56-5C turbofan engines by individual letters. That action required within 10 days after receipt of that emergency AD, an initial inspection of the fuel manifold for wear or chafing; and an initial inspection of the CJ9L harness for correct installation, for clamp wear and to verify a minimum clearance between the CJ9L harness and the fuel manifold. That action also required repetitive inspections of the fuel manifold, clamps, and the CJ9L harness within every 500 hours time in service until new configuration clamps are installed on the harness. This amendment requires the same inspections, and adds inspection requirements for the manifold, clamps, and the CJ10L harness, and clamps on the other side of the engine. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fuel leakage on the hot section or in the primary fire zone of the engine which may result in an engine fire and subsequent damage to the airplane.
