Applicability:  General Electric CF6-50 and CF6-80C2 engines as specified in the requirement document.

Requirement:    Action per the requirements of FAA AD 2003-02-07, Amdt 39-13024.

                Alternative Means of Compliance.

                The stage 2 LPT shroud 2092M11G01 released in SB CF6-80C2 S/B 72-1224 is approved as an alternate means of compliance to paragraph (a) of FAA AD

   Amendment 2 notates the acceptance of later revisions of the manufacturer's data which are approved as an AMOC to FAA AD 2003-02-07.
