Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Dart 525, 525F, 528, 528D, 529, 529D, 530, 532, 535, 542, and 552 Series Turboprop Engines

概要

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Dart 525, 525F, 528, 528D, 529, 529D, 530, 532, 535, 542, and 552 series turboprop engines. This action requires the removal of certain part number (P/N) high pressure turbine (HPT) discs and replacement with serviceable discs. This amendment is prompted by three reports of uncontained HPT disc failures and the manufacturer's investigation into disc failure. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent HPT disc failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
