## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for General Electric Company (GE) CF6-80E1A2 turbofan engines with forward engine mount platforms part numbers (P/Ns) 1520M53G04 and 1846M24G15 installed. This AD requires initial and repetitive fluorescent penetrant inspections of cast material forward engine mount platforms. This AD is prompted by the airframe manufacturer's revised analyses of loads on the forward engine mount. We are issuing this AD to prevent engine separation that could result from cracking of the forward engine mount platform.
