Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13080 · Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG, Model Tay 611-8, 620-15, 650-15, and 651-54 Turbofan Engines
Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG, Model Tay 611-8, 620-15, 650-15, and 651-54 Turbofan Engines
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-03-06. Comply with the one in force.
This airworthiness directive (AD) is applicable to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG (RRD), Model Tay 620-15, 650-15 turbofan engines with low pressure (LP) fuel tube, part number (P/N) JR33021A, installed, and Tay 611-8 and 651-54 turbofan engines with Part 4 of RRD service bulletin (SB) TAY-73-1194 incorporated and LP fuel tube, P/N JR33021A, installed. These engines are installed on, but not limited to Fokker F.28 Mark 0100 airplanes, Supplemental Type Certificate No. SA842SW, Boeing 727 airplanes, and Gulfstream G-IV airplanes.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG (RRD) Model Tay 620-15 and 650-15 turbofan engines. That AD currently requires initial and repetitive inspections of certain low pressure (LP) fuel tubes. This amendment requires the same inspections and adds two engine models to the applicability. This amendment is prompted by a report that certain Tay 611-8 and 651-54 turbofan engines may use the same LP fuel tube. 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.
