Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Engines

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-04-13 for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model BR700- 715A1-30, BR700-715B1-30, and BR700-715C1-30 engines. AD 2009-04-13 required revising the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the operator's existing approved engine maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts. AD 2009-04-13 also required removing certain low-pressure compressor (LPC) (fan) disc assemblies from service and completing the Life Limited Part Tracking Sheet. Since the FAA issued AD 2009-04-13, the manufacturer has revised the engine time limits manual (TLM) to introduce new or more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts. This AD requires revising the ALS of the existing approved engine maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

ore restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts. In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require revising the ALS of the existing approved engine maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive tasks and limitations and associated thresholds and intervals for life-limited parts. Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive Comments The FAA received comments from two commenters. Commenters included the Air Line Pilots Association, International and The Boeing Company. All commenters supported the NPRM without change. Conclusion These products have been approved by the civil aviation authority of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, that authority has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered any comments received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator. Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed EASA AD 20
