Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), that is applicable to CFM International, S.A. (CFMI) CFM56-5 series turbofan engines. This amendment requires replacement of the magnetic drain plug on certain part number (P/N) air turbine engine starters manufactured by Honeywell Engines & Systems. This amendment is prompted by three instances of uncontained air turbine engine starter failures, resulting in cowl damage. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent uncontained failure of the starter and possible damage to the airplane.
