What this AD requires
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 98-24-03 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of BMW Rolls-Royce GmbH (BRR) Models BR700-710A1-10 and BR700-710A2-20 turbofan engines by individual letters. This AD requires repetitive visual inspections of the fairing and fasteners for correct installation and damage, and verification that the engine core fairing fasteners are torqued to the higher torque value. This amendment is prompted by a report of an engine compressor core fairing failure during engine ground runs. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent engine compressor or combustion core fairing detachment and damage to the engine bypass duct, resulting in engine failure and damage to the aircraft.
Which aircraft AD 98-24-03 applies to
Installed on but not limited to Gulfstream Aerospace G-V and Bombardier BD-700-1A10 model aircraft; applies to each identified engine regardless of modification, alteration, or repair status.
Whether AD 98-24-03 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.
