Airworthiness Directive 2005-14-09
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Models RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, and Trent 772B-60 Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce plc (RR) models RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, and Trent 772B-60 turbofan engines. This AD requires removal of certain Engine Electronic Controller (EEC) part numbers from service. This AD results from nine reports of loss of engine parameters displayed in the airplane cockpit, with the simultaneous loss of capability to change thrust of the affected engine. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of airplane control after an aborted takeoff due to asymmetric thrust.
Which aircraft AD 2005-14-09 applies to
Applies only to engines with the listed Engine Electronic Controller (EEC) part numbers installed. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A330 series airplanes.
Whether AD 2005-14-09 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:
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.
