Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc RB211-524H-36 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to Rolls-Royce plc RB211-524H-36 series turbofan engines. This action requires, prior to further flight, installing an improved combustion liner with a strengthened head and improved heat shields. This amendment is prompted by a report of burn through of a combustor case that led to burning away of the thrust reverser and translating cowl and subsequent fire damage to the engine pylon. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent burn through of the combustor case due to combustion liner cracking, which can result in an engine fire and damage to the aircraft.

Whether AD 2000-03-07 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.
Is AD 2000-03-07 complied with on your aircraft?

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.
