Action
Final rule.
Summary
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for RB211- Trent 800 series turbofan engines. This AD requires inspecting the front combustion liner head section for cracking, and if found cracked, removing the front combustion liner head section from service at the next shop visit. This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. Specifically, routine inspections revealed cracking on the head sections of two RB211-Trent 800 front combustion liners. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
