## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), that is applicable to Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 875, 877, 884, 892, 892B, and 895 series turbofan engines. This amendment requires reapplication of dry film lubricant to low pressure compressor (LPC) fan blade roots. This amendment is prompted by an aborted take-off resulting from LPC fan blade loss. Since this event, four additional cracked LPC fan blade roots have been reported. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent LPC fan blade loss, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and possible aircraft damage.
