AD: Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AD NUMBER: 2016-08-07

PRODUCT: Certain Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-22B and RB211-524 turbofan engines with low-pressure turbine (LPT) support roller bearing, part number (P/N) LK30313 or P/N UL29651, installed.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD requires removal of certain LPT support roller bearings installed in RR RB211-22B and RB211-524 engines.

This AD was prompted by a report of a breach of the turbine casing and release of engine debris through a hole in the engine nacelle.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the LPT support roller bearing, loss of radial position following LPT blade failure, uncontained part release, damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 16, 2016.
