Applicability*9
This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 768-60 turbofan engines with serial numbers (SNs) before SN 41056 and RB211 Trent 772-60 turbofan engines with SNs before SN 41056. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A330 series airplanes.
Compliance
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within 15 months after the effective date of this AD, unless the actions have already been done. Rework of Affected Components (f) Rework the LP turbine nozzle vane case, part numbers (P/Ns) FK19488 and FK22687. Use Accomplishment Instruction paragraph 3.B. of RR Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) No. RB.211-72-C224, Revision 4, dated April 12, 2002.

Unsafe condition
This AD is prompted by a report of a low pressure (LP) stage 4 blade failure at the blade shank, resulting in severe radial distortion of the rear flange of the LP turbine case and failure of a number of attaching bolts, resulting in enough flange separation to allow the release of high energy debris. We are issuing this AD to prevent possible uncontained LP turbine case failure and damage to the airplane.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
