Is AD 2000-13-05 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2000-13-05 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc. RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, and Trent 772B-60 Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Rolls-Royce plc. (RR) RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772- 60, and Trent 772B-60 turbofan engines. This action requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspections for cracks in fan blade dovetail roots, and if necessary, replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by reports of fan blade failures due to dovetail root cracks. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent possible multiple fan blade failures, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Whether AD 2000-13-05 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
