EASA AD 2024-0055-CN
CANCELLED: Engine Fuel and Control — Fuel Manifold to Burner Fuel Tube Assembly — Replacement
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2024-0055-CN is an official cancellation of the UK CAA AD 001-10-95 concerning Rolls-Royce Deutschland RB211 Trent 700 series engines, specifically the RB211 Trent 768-60, Trent 772-60, Trent 772B-60, and Trent 772C-60 models. The original directive addressed replacement of the fuel manifold to burner fuel tube assembly due to reported failures. This cancellation confirms that all affected engines have been modified and are no longer subject to the unsafe condition.
What Changed
This cancellation notice officially withdraws the previous UK CAA AD 001-10-95 which mandated replacement of the burner fuel tube assembly before exceeding a life limit. The change reflects Rolls-Royce's confirmation that all in-service engines have been updated with improved fuel tubes and manifolds per service bulletins RB.211-73-B593 and RB211-73-B747, eliminating the original safety concern.
Why It Matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation reduces regulatory burden by removing the requirement to replace the burner fuel tube assembly on affected RB211 Trent 700 engines. Operators and maintenance organizations can now rely on the improved design modifications already incorporated, simplifying maintenance planning and compliance tracking. It also confirms that the risk of engine fire or multiple in-flight shutdowns related to this part has been mitigated.
What To Do
Affected operators and maintenance teams do not need to perform any further replacement actions related to the burner fuel tube assembly under this directive. No new compliance actions or deadlines are required as of the effective date. For technical questions, stakeholders should consult Rolls-Royce representatives or access relevant service bulletins through official channels.
