            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 6 August 2003.

            Background: The dedicated generator rotor assembly has suffered a number of bearing failures due to the low fatigue life of the bearing material, resulting in possible oil loss and engine shut-down. Bearing failure can also lead to an erratic HP shaft speed signal being sent to the Full Authority Fuel Controller (FAFC) causing uncommanded engine acceleration with no throttle response, which could lead to uncontrolled thrust asymmetry during take-off or landing. The intention of this Directive is to introduce modifications to prevent the possibility of uncontrolled thrust asymmetry.
