Applicability*9

This AD applies to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) (Type Certificate previously held by Rolls-Royce plc) Trent XWB-75, Trent XWB-79, Trent XWB-79B, Trent XWB-84, and Trent XWB-97 model turbofan engines.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 120 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Rolls-Royce (RR) Trent XWB TLM, as applicable to each engine model, and the operator's existing approved aircraft maintenance program (AMP) by incorporating the following: (1) For Trent XWB-75, Trent XWB-79, Trent XWB-79B, and Trent XWB-84 model turbofan engines, add Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of RR Trent XWB TLM TRENTXWB-K0680-TIME0-01 and to the operator's existing approved AMP. ER12JY21.000 (2) For Trent XWB-97 model turbofan engines, add Figure 2 to paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to the ALS of RR Trent XWB TLM TRENTXWB-K0680-TIME0-01 and to the operator's existing approved AMP. ER12JY21.001 Note 1 to paragraph (g): Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) and Figure 2 to paragraph (g)(2) contain language from the original equipment manufacturer's TLM. Operators may incorporate the language referenced in Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(1) or Figure 2 to paragraph (g)(2) directly into their AMP instead of adding the respective figures into their AMP.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by the manufacturer revising the time limits manual (TLM) to incorporate repairs to the low-pressure compressor (LPC) blades and introduce a new fan blade inspection. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the failure of critical rotating parts. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of one or more engines, loss of thrust control, and loss of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
