Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-22B, RB211-524, and RB211-535 series turbofan engines. This AD requires revising the Time Limits Manual for RR RB211-22B, RB211-524, and RB211-535 series turbofan engines. These revisions include required enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This AD results from the need to require enhanced inspection of selected critical life- limited parts of RB211-22B, RB211-524, and RB211-535 series turbofan engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of critical life- limited rotating engine parts, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
