Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD adopts FAA TAD T85-15-51 and imposes a firm 2,500-cycle life limit on fuel supply manifolds (P/Ns 9327M46G01, 9327M46G02) for GE CF6-80A and CF6-80A2 engines, requiring any manifolds already over 2,500 cycles to be replaced within 100 cycles of the TAD. Operators must track cycles, source replacements, and bear the associated maintenance and logistics costs.
