Is AD 2001-05-06 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2001-05-06 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2001-05-06 apply to?

AD 2001-05-06 applies to Bmw Rolls-Royce — models BR700-710A1-10, BR700-710A2-20, BR700. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; BMW Rolls-Royce GmbH Models BR700-710A1-10 and BR700-710A2-20 Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to BMW Rolls-Royce (RR) GmbH models BR700-710A1-10 turbofan engines with fan disk part numbers (P/N's) BRR18803, BRR19248, or BRR20791 installed, and BR700-710A2-20 turbofan engines with fan disks P/N's BRR19248 or BRR20791 installed. This action requires initial and repetitive inspections of these fan disks for cracks, and if necessary replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by reports of cracks in several fan disks in the dovetail area. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect cracks in the fan disk, that 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.

Part-conditional — BRR18803, BRR19248, BRR20791.

Applies only to BR700-710A1-10 engines with fan disks part numbers BRR18803, BRR19248, or BRR20791 installed, and BR700-710A2-20 engines with fan disks part numbers BRR19248 or BRR20791 installed.

Whether AD 2001-05-06 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 2001-05-06 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.
