The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent 1000-A, Trent 1000-AE, Trent 1000-C, Trent 1000-CE, Trent 1000-D, Trent 1000-E, Trent 1000-G, Trent 1000-H, Trent 1000-A2, Trent 1000-AE2, Trent 1000-C2, Trent 1000-CE2, Trent 1000-D2, Trent 1000-E2, Trent 1000-G2, Trent 1000-H2, Trent 1000-J2, Trent 1000-K2, and Trent 1000-L2 engines. This AD was prompted by an investigation which revealed that certain low- pressure compressor (LPC) fan blades are at risk of cracking due to incorrect dressing. This AD requires inspecting the LPC fan blades for evidence of incorrect dressing, and replacement if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Perform all required actions within the compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2025-0143, dated July 08, 2025 (EASA AD 2025-0143).

(2) Where EASA AD 2025-0143 refers to November 3, 2023 (the effective date of EASA AD 2023-0185), this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(3) This AD does not adopt the “Remarks” paragraph of EASA AD 2025-0143.
Although the material referenced in EASA AD 2025-0143 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
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.
