Airworthiness Directive 2000-11-10
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD) applicable to certain Rolls-Royce plc (R-R) RB211 series turbofan engines. That AD currently requires the removal from service of intermediate pressure (IP) compressor stage 6-7 rotor shafts that exceed reduced cyclic life limits. This amendment requires further reduction of cyclic life limits and introduction of new reduced cyclic bands for rework. This action is prompted by additional stress analysis conducted following failure of an IP compressor stage 6 disk. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an uncontained engine failure due to rupture of an IP compressor stage 6-7 rotor shaft.
Which aircraft AD 2000-11-10 applies to
Applies to engines not incorporating new intermediate pressure (IP) compressor stage 6-7 rotor shaft assemblies with redesigned stage 6 disks in accordance with Rolls-Royce Service Bulletin No. RB.211-72-9993, dated August 26, 1994.
Whether AD 2000-11-10 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
