AD: Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AD NUMBER: 2014-24-08

PRODUCT: All Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-535E4 and RB211-535E4-B turbofan engines.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 98-07-07 for  the products listed above.

AD 98-07-07 required removing certain part number (P/N) low-pressure (LP) fuel filter-to-high-pressure (HP) fuel pump tube assemblies and installing flexible LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube assemblies.

This AD expands the applicability of AD 98-07-07 to include the RB211-535E4-C-37 turbofan engine and requires removal from service of additional P/N LP fuel filter-to-high-pressure HP fuel pump tube assemblies. This AD was prompted by reports of fuel leaks that have resulted in a number of engine in-flight shutdowns.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent loss of fuel supply to the engine, which could lead to an in-flight shutdown of one or more engines, loss of thrust control, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective January 6, 2015.
