Airworthiness Directive 99-24-01
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Tay 620-15, Tay 650-15, and Tay 651-54 Series Turbofan Engines
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to Rolls-Royce plc Tay 620-15, Tay 650-15, and Tay 651-54 series turbofan engines, that requires initial and repetitive visual inspections of the emergency fuel shutoff cable for broken strands or failed cables, and, if necessary, replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by reports of broken strands and failed emergency fuel shutoff cables. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent emergency fuel shutoff cable failure, which could result in the non-operation of the emergency fuel shut-off system in the event of a low pressure shaft failure.
Which aircraft AD 99-24-01 applies to
Installed on but not limited to Fokker F.28 Mark 0070/0100 series aircraft, and Boeing 727 series aircraft modified with STC SA8472SW (Tay 651-54).
Whether AD 99-24-01 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.
