Airworthiness Directive 2010-19-01
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC) AE 3007A Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for RRC AE 3007A series turbofan engines. That AD currently requires performing an eddy current inspection (ECI) or surface wave ultrasonic test (SWUT) inspection on each affected high-pressure turbine (HPT) wheel. This AD requires removing or performing initial and repetitive ECIs or SWUT inspections on HPT stage 2 wheels for cracks. This AD also reduces the approved life limits of certain HPT stage 2 wheels. This AD results from reports of cracked HPT stage 2 wheels. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the HPT stage 2 wheel and damage to the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2010-19-01 applies to
Applies only to AE 3007A series turbofan engines with a high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 2 wheel of one of the listed part numbers installed. Installed on, but not limited to, EMBRAER EMB-135 and EMB-145 airplanes.
Whether AD 2010-19-01 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.
