Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan Engines

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-07-04 for General Electric Company (GE) GE90-110B1 and GE90-115B turbofan engines with certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) rotor stage 2-5 spools installed. AD 2017-07-04 required removing certain HPC rotor stage 2-5 spools from service at times determined by a drawdown plan. This AD requires removing certain HPC rotor stage 2-5 spools from service before reaching the new reduced life limit and replacing them with parts eligible for installation. This AD was prompted by the publication of a GE service bulletin (SB) that increases the number of affected HPC rotor stage 2-5 spools and includes HPC rotor stage 2-5 spools that were inadvertently omitted from the applicability of AD 2017-07-04. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
