## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 875, 877, 884, 892, 892B, and 895 series turbofan engines with certain part number (P/N) low pressure compressor (LPC) fan blades installed. This action requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspection of the fan blade dovetail roots. This amendment is prompted by the loss of an LPC fan blade during takeoff. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent multiple LPC fan blade failures due to cracks, which could result in uncontained engine failure and possible damage to the airplane.
