Rolls-Royce plc Updates Airworthiness Directive for RB211-Trent 970-84 Engines

Rolls-Royce plc is issuing an updated airworthiness directive for its RB211-Trent 970-84, RB211-Trent 970B-84, RB211-Trent 972-84, RB211-Trent 972B-84, RB211-Trent 977-84, RB211-Trent 977B-84, and RB211-Trent 980-84 turbofan engines, following a Trent 900 engine that experienced increased low-pressure rotor vibration during flight, resulting in an in-flight shutdown. The updated directive requires additional inspections of certain engine components to address the unsafe condition.
