Boeing Issues Airworthiness Directive for 747 Aircraft Models with Rolls-Royce Engines

Summary

The Boeing Company has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 747 aircraft models equipped with Rolls-Royce RB211-524 Series Engines, requiring repetitive inspections of the strut front spar chord for cracks and fractures. The directive aims to detect and correct these issues to prevent in-flight separation of the strut and engine.
