Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-524G2-19, RB211-524G2-T-19, RB211-524G3-19, RB211-524G3-T-19, RB211-524H2-19, RB211-524H2-T-19, RB211-524H-36 and RB211-524H-T-36 engines. This AD requires removal of affected low- pressure compressor (LPC) shafts. This AD was prompted by unauthorized repairs to the affected LPC shafts that reduced their expected life. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
