What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

MakesRolls-Royce Deutschland
ModelsBR700-710A1-10, BR700-710A2-20, BR700-710C4-11, BR700

BR700-710A1-10 and BR700-710A2-20 models apply in all configurations; BR700-710C4-11 models apply with hardware configuration standard 710C4-11 (SB-BR700-72-101466 not incorporated) or 710C4-11/10 (SB-BR700-72-101466 incorporated) engraved on the engine data plate. Installed on, but not limited to, Bombardier BD-700-1A10/1A11 and Gulfstream GV (G500)/GV-SP (G550) airplanes.

Whether AD 2011-26885 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2011-26885 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.
