Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG, Model Tay 620-15 and 650-15 Turbofan Engines
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2003-05-04. Comply with the one in force.
This airworthiness directive (AD) is applicable to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG (RRD), Model Tay 620-15 and 650-15 turbofan engines with low pressure (LP) fuel tube part number, (P/N) JR33021A, installed. These engines are installed on, but not limited to Fokker F.28 Mark 0100 airplanes.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG (RRD), Model Tay 620-15 and 650-15 turbofan engines. This action requires initial and repetitive inspections of certain low pressure (LP) fuel tubes. This amendment is prompted by a dual-engine flameout. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent a dual-engine flameout due to fuel exhaustion, which could lead to forced landing and possible damage to the airplane.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
