Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2026-13-06. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Model Trent XWB-97 engines as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Emergency AD 2024-0174-E, dated September 5, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0174-E).
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent XWB-97 engines. This AD was prompted by a report of damage to the main fuel hose assembly of the fuel manifold, which resulted an in-flight shut down. This AD requires a one-time set of visual and dimensional inspections of the main fuel hose assembly of the fuel manifold to confirm softness, compliance, and lack of resistance, and for shrinkage, cracks, chafing, dents, kinks, necking, and degradation of the hose braid wire; and, if necessary, replacement of the main fuel hose assembly of the fuel manifold, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Do all required actions within the compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2024-0174-E.
(1) Where EASA AD 2024-0174-E refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) This AD does not adopt the “Remarks” paragraph of EASA AD 2024-0174-E.
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.
