Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2016-0242-CN cancels the previous EASA AD 2016-0242 concerning Rolls-Royce Deutschland Trent XWB engines installed on Airbus A350 aircraft. The original AD addressed inspection and replacement of low pressure compressor case support inboard pins, dowels, and bolts due to material non-conformance. This cancellation confirms that the unsafe condition has been resolved following inspections and corrective actions.
What Changed
This document cancels EASA AD 2016-0242, which mandated inspection and replacement of certain low pressure compressor case support components on Trent XWB engines. The cancellation reflects that all affected engines have been inspected and corrected, and the unsafe condition no longer exists.
Why It Matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation means that the previously required inspections and replacements for the Trent XWB engine components are no longer mandatory, reducing maintenance burden. Operators and maintenance organizations can update their compliance records accordingly, ensuring regulatory alignment and operational efficiency.
What To Do
Affected stakeholders do not need to perform any further inspections or replacements related to EASA AD 2016-0242. They should update their maintenance and compliance documentation to reflect the cancellation effective from 28 June 2024.
