Airworthiness Directives; GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. Turboprop Engines

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-07-13 and AD 2018-03-22 which apply to certain GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. M601D-11, M601E-11, M601E-11A, M601E-11AS, M601E-11S, and M601F model turboprop engines. AD 2016-07-13 required inspection of the engine power turbine (PT) disk and, if found damaged, its replacement with a part eligible for installation. AD 2018-03-22 required the removal of certain engine PT disks identified by part number (P/N) installed on the affected engines. This AD requires an inspection of the engine PT disk and, if found damaged, its replacement with a part eligible for installation. This AD also requires the removal of certain engine PT disks identified by P/N installed on the affected engines. This AD was prompted by the discovery of damage to certain engine PT disks and a review by the manufacturer that determined that certain engine PT rotors have less overspeed margin than originally declared during product certification. This AD was also prompted by the manufacturer identifying additional P/Ns and serial numbers (S/Ns) of engine PT disks affected by damage or non-conformity since publishing AD 2016-07- 13 and AD 2018-03-22. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
