Rolls-Royce plc Issues Airworthiness Directive for RB211-Trent 900 Turbofan Engines

Rolls-Royce plc is adopting a new airworthiness directive to inspect and potentially replace the low pressure turbine bearing housing end cover assembly in certain RB211-Trent 900 engines due to a high intermediate pressure vibration fault experienced by a Trent 900 engine in flight, in order to prevent oil transfer tube fracture and engine failure.
