Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain General Electric Company (GE) CT58 series and former military T58 series turboshaft engines. This action requires the removal from service of certain fuel flow divider assemblies, and replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by reports of large volumes of fuel leakage from end caps on fuel flow divider assemblies. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fuel flow divider assembly fuel leakage, which could cause an engine fire, leading to an in-flight engine shutdown and forced landing.
