AD: Rolls-Royce

AD NUMBER: 2003-18-09
MANUFACTURER:
Rolls Royce
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-18-09


SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Trent 768-60,Trent 772-60, and Trent 772B-60 turbofan engines. This AD requires removal from service of certain part numbers of high pressure (HP) compressor rotor shafts, based on a newly established reduced life limit. This AD is prompted by reports of HP compressor drums with small cracks in blade loading slots found at overhaul inspection. The HP compressor drums are an integral part of the HP compressor rotor shaft. We are issuing this AD to prevent possible uncontained HP compressor drum failure, which could result in damage to the airplane.
