Unsafe Condition (d) This AD results from two reports of low blade tip clearances in the compressor. We are issuing this AD to prevent low-cycle-fatigue (LCF) cracking and failure of the stage 1 compressor disk, an uncontained engine failure, and damage to the helicopter. Compliance (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified unless the actions have already been done. Replacement of Stage 1 Compressor Disks (f) If you have a stage 1 compressor disk, P/N 5001T20P01, with a SN listed in Table 1 of this AD, replace that stage 1 compressor disk at or before reaching a reduced LCF life limit for those affected disks of 2,100 hours time-since-new (TSN) or by December 31, 2008, whichever occurs first. GE Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. CT58 S/B 72-A0196, dated July 24, 2003, contains information on replacing the stage 1 compressor disk. (g) After the effective date of this AD, do not install any stage 1 compressor disk, P/N 5001T20P01, that has a SN listed in Table 1 of this AD and has 2,100 hours TSN or more, into any engine. Alternative Methods of Compliance (h) The Manager, Engine Certification Office, has the authority to approve alternative methods of compliance for this AD if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Material Incorporated by Reference (i) None. Related Information (j)GE Alert Service Bulletin No. CT58 S/B 72-A0196, dated July 24, 2003, pertains to the subject of this AD.
