GE has finished the first round of inspections on all in-service and spare GEnx engines ahead of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s completion of an airworthiness directive (AD) now on public display at the Office of the Federal Register in Washington, D.C. The FAA said it expected the Federal Register to publish the AD, which details new inspection intervals for the engine type, on Friday.
