The "AD Requirements" section says: "This AD requires a one-time visual inspection of the GP7200 series engine fan hub, with the compliance time based on the number of accumulated flight cycles, and removal of the fan hub if damage or defects are found that are outside of serviceable limits."[/quote]

Yes. However, the visual inspection is to be performed iaw a proceedure that will detail the exact method used.
Also worth noting:
"Interim Action
We consider this AD interim action. An investigation to determine the cause of the failure is
on-going and we may consider additional rulemaking if final action is identified". And:
"FAA’s Determination
We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type
design".

My interpretation of this is that, the FAA think there may be further failures.
