AD 2004-05-30 Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 500 Series Turbofan Engines
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Trent 500 series turbofan engines. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A340 series airplanes.
Compliance
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified unless the actions have already been done. (f) Within the next 40 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Time Limits Manual (TLM), and for air carrier operations revise the approved continuous airworthiness maintenance program, by adding the following: “GROUP A PARTS MANDATORY INSPECTION B. Inspections referred to as ‘Focus Inspect' in the applicable Engine Manual inspection Task are mandatory inspections for the components given below, when the conditions that follow are satisfied: (1) When the component has been completely disassembled to piece part level as given in the applicable disassembly procedures contained in the Engine Manual; and (2) The part has more than 100 recorded flight cycles in operation since the last piece part inspection; or (3) The component removal was for damage or a cause directly related to its removal; or (4) Where serviceable used components, for which the inspection history is not fully known, are to be used again. C. The list of Group A Parts is specified below: Part nomenclature Part No. Inspected per overhaul manual task Low Pressure Compressor Rotor Disk All 72-31-16-200-801 Low Pressure Compressor Rotor Shaft All 72-31-20-200-801 Intermediate Pressure Compressor Rotor Shaft All 72-32-31-200-801 Intermediate Pressure Rear Shaft All 72-33-21-200-801 High Pressure Compressor Stage 1 to 4 Rotor Disks Shaft All 72-41-31-200-803 High Pressure Compressor Stage 5 & 6 Disks and Cone All 72-41-31-200-801 High Pressure Turbine Rotor Disk All 72-41-51-200-801 High Pressure Turbine Front Coverplate All 72-41-51-200-806 Intermediate Pressure Turbine Rotor Disk All 72-51-31-200-801 Intermediate Pressure Turbine Rotor Shaft All 72-51-33-200-801 Low Pressure Turbine Stage 1 Rotor Disk All 72-52-31-200-801 Low Pressure Turbine Stage 2 Rotor Disk All 72-52-31-200-802 Low Pressure Turbine Stage 3 Rotor Disk All 72-52-31-200-803 Low Pressure Turbine Stage 4 Rotor Disk All 72-52-31-200-804 Low Pressure Turbine Stage 5 Rotor Disk All 72-52-31-200-805 Low Pressure Turbine Rotor Shaft All 72-52-33-200-801” Alternative Methods of
Unsafe condition
This AD results from the need to require enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts of RR Trent 500 series turbofan engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent critical life-limited rotating engine part failure, which could result in an uncontained engine 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.
