EASA AD 2023-0192
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2024-0041
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0192 is issued for Rolls-Royce Deutschland Trent 7000-72 and Trent 7000-72C engines. It mandates compliance with updated maintenance tasks and life limits as specified in Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 Time Limits Manual Revision 18. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing new and revised inspection and replacement requirements for critical engine components.
What Changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2022-0248 and introduces updated mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits from the latest Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 Time Limits Manual Revision 18. Changes include a revised low pressure compressor inspection, addition of a new part number KH97343 in the low pressure turbine shaft assembly, and new overhaul limits for intermediate pressure compressor rotor blades. The Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be updated accordingly within 12 months.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0192 is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to prevent unsafe conditions caused by failure to perform updated inspections and replacements. It ensures that the Trent 7000 engines continue to meet certified airworthiness standards, reducing the risk of in-service failures. The directive also streamlines compliance by allowing AMP revisions to cover ongoing maintenance requirements without individual action recording.
What To Do
Operators must replace engine components before exceeding new life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified thresholds as detailed in the updated Time Limits Manual. Any discrepancies found during inspections must be corrected within the prescribed compliance times or before next flight if unspecified. The approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised to incorporate these new requirements within 12 months from the effective date of 21 November 2023.
