What to do
Affected operators and maintenance teams should note that no further action is required under EASA AD 2007-0202-CN as it cancels the previous directive. They should continue to comply with EASA AD 2007-0201 for inspections and maintenance of the oil vent tubes and restrictors. There is no new compliance deadline associated with this cancellation.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2007-0202-CN is an official cancellation of the previous EASA AD 2007-0202 concerning the inspection, cleaning, and replacement of the high/intermediate pressure turbine bearing oil vent tube restrictor on Rolls-Royce RB211 Trent 700 engines. These engines are commonly installed on Airbus A330 aircraft. The cancellation reflects that the unsafe condition addressed by the original AD no longer exists due to ongoing maintenance requirements covered by another directive.
What changed
This document cancels EASA AD 2007-0202, which mandated a one-time inspection of the HP/IP turbine bearing oil vent tube restrictor due to risks of carbon build-up and potential engine failure. The cancellation is based on the expiration of compliance times and the fact that repetitive inspections and maintenance are now covered under EASA AD 2007-0201. No new actions or inspections are required as a result of this cancellation.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation clarifies that the previously mandated inspections and maintenance for the HP/IP turbine bearing oil vent tube restrictor on RB211 Trent 700 engines are no longer required under AD 2007-0202. Operators and maintenance organizations can rely on the existing AD 2007-0201 for ongoing compliance, simplifying regulatory oversight and maintenance planning. This reduces administrative burden and ensures focus on current applicable directives.
