Airworthiness Directive 2018-19365
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) BR700-710A2-20 and BR700- 710C4-11 turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by reports of deterioration of the intumescent heat resistant paint system on the electronic engine controller (EEC) firebox assembly that was found to be beyond acceptable limits. This AD requires replacement of affected EEC firebox assembly parts with improved parts, which have a more durable paint system. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2018-19365 applies to
Applies only when an electronic engine controller (EEC) firebox assembly is installed with a listed part number: for BR700-710A2-20, P/N FW42888, FW42886, FW38590, FW38591, or FW58255; for BR700-710C4-11, P/N FW38504, FW38503, FW38590, FW38591, or FW58255.
Whether AD 2018-19365 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.
