Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (Type Certificate Previously Held by Rolls-Royce plc) Turbofan Engines

FAA / Federal Register · 2021-17071

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Trent 1000 model turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of high levels of wear on the seal fins on a small number of certain high- pressure turbine triple seals. This proposed AD would require manual deactivation of the modulated air system (MAS) control valves. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
