Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Engines: FAA Supersedes Airworthiness Directive for Trent 1000 Engines
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has superseded Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-05-01, which applied to Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Trent 1000 engines, requiring initial and repetitive borescope inspections of high-pressure turbine blades. The updated directive introduces improved HPT blades and expands inspection areas, while reducing certain thresholds and removing a life-limit.
