Is AD 2007-03-02 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2007-03-02 requires a repetitive inspection every 8000 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2007-03-02 apply to?

AD 2007-03-02 applies to Rolls-Royce Deutschland — models Tay 611-8, Tay 620-15, Tay 650-15, Tay 651-54, Tay. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Tay 611-8, Tay 620-15, Tay 650-15, and Tay 651-54 Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Tay 611-8, Tay 620-15, Tay 650-15, and Tay 651-54 series turbofan engines, with certain low pressure (LP) compressor modules installed. This AD requires an ultrasonic inspection (UI) of LP compressor fan blades for cracks, within 30 days after the effective date of the AD on certain serial number (SN) Tay 650-15 engines. This AD also requires initial and repetitive UIs of LP compressor fan blades on all engines. This AD also requires, for Tay 650-15 and Tay 651-54 engines, UIs of LP compressor fan blades whenever the blade set is removed from one engine and installed on a different engine. This AD results from a report that a set of LP compressor fan blades failed before reaching the LP compressor fan blade full published life limit. We are issuing this AD to prevent LP compressor fan blades from failing due to blade root cracks, leading to uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 8000 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Part-conditional — MO1100AA, MO1100AB, MO1300AA, MO1300AB, JR30649, JR31702, JR31983, JR33863.

Applies only when the corresponding LP compressor module P/N is installed (MO1100AA or MO1100AB on Tay 611-8/620-15; MO1300AA or MO1300AB on Tay 650-15/651-54) with one of the listed LP compressor fan blade P/Ns installed in that module. Installed on but not limited to Fokker F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes, Boeing 727 airplanes modified per STC SA8472SW, and Gulfstream G-IV airplanes.

Whether AD 2007-03-02 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 compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Is AD 2007-03-02 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.
