Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) CT58-100-2, CT58-140-1, -140-2, and T58-GE-1, -3, -5, -8E, -8F, -10, -100, and -402 turboshaft engines. This AD requires the removal from service of certain fuel flow divider assemblies. This AD results from a report that a certain population of flow divider end caps could crack and cause large volumes of fuel leakage. We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel leakage from the fuel flow divider assembly, which could cause an engine fire, leading to an in-flight engine shutdown and forced landing.
