Rolls-Royce Proposes Supersession of Airworthiness Directive for Certain Turbofan Engines

Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG is proposing to supersede an existing airworthiness directive for certain Tay 620-15, Tay 650-15, and Tay 651-54 turbofan engines, due to an additional engine failure reported since the issuance of the original directive, which requires ultrasonic inspections of low-pressure compressor fan blades to prevent engine failure and damage to the airplane.
