Reduced Life Limit for GE Engine Part
The FAA requires operators of General Electric CT7-2E1 engines to update their maintenance documents to reflect a reduced life limit for the CT7-2E1 stage 2 turbine aft cooling plate. Specifically, you must revise the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the CT7-2E1 engine maintenance manual (EMM) and your approved maintenance or inspection program to incorporate the reduced life limit to address the unsafe condition.
