Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Limited., Aero Division-Bristol, S.N.E.C.M.A. Olympus 593 Mk. 610-14-28 Turbojet Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain serial number (SN) Rolls-Royce Limited, Aero Division-Bristol, S.N.E.C.M.A. (RR) Olympus 593 Mk. 610-14-28 turbojet engines, installed in BAe/SNIAS Concorde Type 1 airplanes. This action requires second stage fuel pump endurance bench-testing if the pump has not yet accumulated 50 flight hours since last installed and the bearing assembly and or the rotating assembly were removed or re-fitted during last pump removal. This amendment is prompted by a report of second stage fuel pumps that were not endurance bench-tested after having the bearing assembly and or the rotating assembly removed or re- fitted, and then installed on engines in service. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent a fuel leak resulting in a sustained engine fire.

Which aircraft AD 2002-26-04 applies to

MakesRolls-Royce

ModelsOlympus 593, Olympus

Applies when a Lucas Type 105, 105M, 106, or 106M second-stage fuel pump installed on an RR Olympus 593 engine has fewer than 50 flight hours since last installation and the bearing or rotating assembly was removed/re-fitted at the last pump removal; requires endurance bench-testing per RR MSB OL.593-73-9075-103, dated November 17, 2000, to prevent fuel leak/sustained engine fire.

Whether AD 2002-26-04 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 2002-26-04 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.
