What to do
Affected stakeholders are not required to take any further action regarding the life management of the specified high-pressure compressor rotor shafts under this cancellation notice.

No compliance deadlines apply as the cancellation is effective immediately from 21 February 2025.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2025-0048-CN cancels the previous CAA UK AD 003-12-2001 related to the life management of high-pressure compressor rotor shafts on Rolls-Royce RB211 Trent 768-60, 772-60, and 772B-60 engines, commonly installed on Airbus A330 aircraft. The cancellation reflects updated assessments that the affected parts are no longer subject to the unsafe condition addressed by the earlier directive.
What changed
This cancellation notice officially withdraws the requirement to implement life limit reductions on specific high-pressure compressor rotor shafts as mandated by CAA UK AD 003-12-2001. The change follows Rolls-Royce's issuance of Revision 2 of NMSB RB211-72-D586, confirming that all affected parts have incorporated necessary service bulletins and are no longer affected by the previously identified cracking issue.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation removes the obligation to comply with the earlier life limit restrictions on certain RB211 Trent engine parts, simplifying maintenance and operational planning. Operators and maintenance organizations can rely on updated service information, reducing administrative burden and potential downtime related to the previously mandated inspections and part replacements.
