FAA Issues Revised Airworthiness Directive for Rolls-Royce RB211 Trent 800 Series Engines
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has superseded an existing airworthiness directive for Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 800 Series Turbofan Engines, requiring replacement or rework of low-pressure compressor fan blades due to potential cracking in the blade root caused by increased stresses in the shear key slots, in an effort to prevent multiple uncontained failures.
