Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Engines

- What it does
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain General Electric Company (GE) Model GE Passport 20-17BB1A, GE Passport 20-18BB1A, GE Passport 20-19BB1A, and GE Passport 20-19BB1B engines. This proposed AD was prompted by an engine in-flight shutdown (IFSD) due to an engine fire caused by fuel leakage within the engine core compartment. This proposed AD would require replacement of a certain start bleed valve (SBV) fuel tube with a redesigned SBV fuel tube. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
