Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Trent 700 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) Trent 700 series turbofan engines. This AD requires revising the Time Limits Manual for RR RB211 Trent 700 series turbofan engines. These revisions include required enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts at each piece-part exposure. This AD results from the need to require enhanced inspection of selected critical life-limited parts of RR Trent 700 series turbofan engines. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of critical life- limited rotating engine parts, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Whether AD 2004-05-31 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 2004-05-31 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.
