Lockheed Model L-1011 Series Airplanes Equipped With Rolls-Royce Model RB211-524 Series Engines: New Airworthiness Directive to Address Engine Interference Issues

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive requiring a modification to be installed in certain Lockheed Model L-1011 series airplanes equipped with Rolls-Royce Model RB211-524 series engines to address potential interference problems between the fireloop and a fuel line, aiming to reduce the risk of fire in the high-speed gearboxes and ensure prompt detection by flight crews.
