Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13526 · Rolls-Royce plc Trent 700 Series Turbofan Engines
Rolls-Royce plc Trent 700 Series Turbofan Engines
This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Trent 700 series turbofan engines. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A330 series airplanes.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Trent 700 series turbofan engines. This AD requires revising the Time Limits Manual for RR RB211 Trent 700 series turbofan engines. These revisions include required enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This AD results from the need to require enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts of RR Trent 700 series turbofan engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of critical life- limited rotating engine parts, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and 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.
