GE Jet Engines Face FAA Compressor Part Replacement Order

## Summary

The FAA is making a new rule for certain General Electric jet engines because some parts didn’t meet quality standards. If you have these engines, you’ll need to replace specific compressor parts by March 11, 2026, to keep flying safely. This might cost some money but it’s all about keeping everyone safe up in the sky!

## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model GEnx-1B64, GEnx-1B64/P1, GEnx-1B64/P2, GEnx-1B67, GEnx-1B67/P1, GEnx-1B67/P2, GEnx-1B70, GEnx- 1B70/75/P1, GEnx-1B70/75/P2, GEnx-1B70/P1, GEnx-1B70/P2, GEnx-1B70C/P1, GEnx-1B70C/P2, GEnx-1B74/75/P1, GEnx-1B74/75/P2, GEnx-1B76/P2, Genx- 1B76A/P2, GEnx-2B67, GEnx-2B67/P, and GEnx-2B67B engines. This AD was prompted by a report of a quality escape for certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage 5 blisks manufactured from a single forged ingot with a nonconforming indication. This AD requires replacement of certain HPC stage 5 blisks with parts eligible for installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

## Effects PRIA read

- Mandatory replacement of specific HPC blisks: cost, high. If you operate GE GEnx engines with high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage 5 blisk P/N 2357M35P02 and S/N TMT214T8, TMT214T9, or TMT218UA, you must remove and replace that blisk with a part eligible for installation. The replacement must occur at the next piece-part exposure or before the part exceed…
- No U.S. registry compliance burden: benefit, low. The FAA estimates this AD affects 0 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry, so U.S. operators are not expected to incur the replacement costs. The FAA’s estimated total cost on U.S. operators is $0.
