The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a new airworthiness directive for Rolls-Royce Deutschland Model Trent7000-72 and Trent7000-72C engines. This rule applies to all engines of these models.
Why it matters: This is a safety measure to prevent engine failures during flight. It does not ban the engines themselves, but it restricts how specific internal components can be installed. For operators, this means checking maintenance records and ensuring compliance with the new installation standards before putting these engines back into service.
Who it affects
- Airlines operating aircraft equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent7000-72 or Trent7000-72C engines
