The main propeller shafts VIN (P/N ), VIN (P/N 775801-1 775801G01 775801-2 ), VIN (P/N ), and VIN (P/N ) are775801G02 775801-3 775801G03 775801-4 775801G04 affected by this Service Bulletin.
B. Description This Service Bulletin introduces an ultrasonic inspection (UTI) and enhanced inspection plan for the affected main propeller shafts.
C. Compliance Category 2 GE recommends that you do the initial and repetitive inspections of this Service Bulletin after reaching the inspection threshold and within the repeat intervals in Table 1 or Table 2 below.
Table 1. CT7-5/-9B Inspection Threshold and Interval Engine Model Inspection Threshold [Cycles Since New (CSN)] First Inspection Repeat Interval [Every Flight Hours (EFH)] Visual inspection 0 At first propeller removal At every propeller removal Fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) 20,000 Within 2,100 flight hours (FH) since issue date of this Service Bulletin At every propeller removal or 2,100 FH, whichever is greater.

Page 2 of 7 CT7-5/-9B initial revision,after reaching threshold Ultrasonic Inspection (UTI) 20,000 Within 1,600 FH since issue date of this Service Bulletin initial revision, after reaching threshold 5,000 FH NOTE:If the main propeller shaft CSN information is unknown, inspection schedule must be based on the propeller gearbox (PGB) CSN. If the PGB CSN information is unknown, it must be assumed that the inspection threshold is exceeded.
Table 2. CT7-7/-9C/-9C3 Inspection Threshold and Interval Engine Model Inspection Threshold [Cycles Since New (CSN)] First Inspection Repeat Interval [Every Flight Hours (EFH)] CT7-7/-9C/-9C3 Visual inspection 0 At first propeller removal At every propeller removal Fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) 20,000 Within 2,400 FH since issue date of this Service Bulletin initial revision, after reaching threshold At every propeller removal or 2,400 FH, whichever is greater.
Ultrasonic Inspection (UTI) 20,000 Within 1,600 FH since issue date of this Service Bulletin initial revision, after reaching threshold 4,800 FH NOTE:If the main propeller shaft CSN information is unknown, inspection schedule must be based on the propeller gearbox (PGB) CSN. If the PGB CSN information is unknown, it must be assumed that the inspection threshold is exceeded.
Impact B This recommendation is to address a condition that may result in an Increased Rate of In-Flight Shutdowns (IFSD), Take-Off Aborts (TOA), Air Turn Backs (ATB) or Diversions (DIV).
NOTE:This Service Bulletin can be accomplished on wing or in shop. The main propeller shaft may be installed on or removed from the PGB.
This Service Bulletin is offered to improve the reliability or performance of your GE product, or to help prevent the occurrence of the event or condition described in this Service Bulletin. If the operator elects not to participate in the bulletin, that decision will be taken into consideration by GE in evaluating future product performance issues that may arise in the operator's fleet.
D. Concurrent Requirements None.
E. Reason
(1) Objective:
To improve reliability.
(2) Condition:
The main propeller shaft requires an enhanced inspection of the dowel pin holes to detect possible cracks.
(3) Cause:
Corrosion can initiate a crack inside the two dowel pin holes of the main propeller shaft.
(4) Inspection:
The enhanced inspection plan provides a method to detect possible crack initiation in the dowel pin holes before reaching the forward face of the shaft flange.
(5) Substantiation:
Substantiation is by fleet experience and test.
F. Approval The data contained in this Service Bulletin has been reviewed by the FAA or authorized entity representing the FAA and the repair(s) and modification(s) herein comply with the applicable Aviation Regulations and are APPROVED for installation in the model(s) listed in this Service Bulletin.
G. Manpower After you get access to the main propeller shaft, you will need approximately 1 man-hour for each engine or component.
