What to do
Operators of Trent XWB-97 engines with affected fuel pumps must replace these parts with serviceable ones within 30 days of 10 December 2025 or before exceeding 10,000 flight hours or 1,100 flight cycles, whichever occurs first. Installation of affected parts is only allowed if they are serviceable, and any engine fitted with such parts must have them replaced per the AD requirements. Compliance must follow the instructions in Rolls-Royce Non-Modification Alert Service Bulletin Trent XWB 73-AL207.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0261R1 is a regulatory update addressing the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines. It mandates the replacement of certain fuel pumps, specifically those with Part Number G5020FPU02 and affected serial numbers, due to identified fatigue damage that could impair engine thrust. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring operators to replace affected fuel pumps within specified flight hour or cycle limits.
What changed
This revision clarifies and improves the interpretation of certain provisions from the original EASA AD 2025-0261 without changing the technical requirements or safety intent. It updates compliance instructions and reinforces the replacement deadlines for affected fuel pumps on Trent XWB-97 engines. The revised AD supersedes the original issue dated 26 November 2025.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it addresses a safety risk involving fuel pump fatigue that could lead to reduced engine thrust and compromised aircraft safety. Operators and maintenance organizations must ensure timely compliance to avoid operational disruptions and maintain regulatory conformity. The AD also provides clear guidance on installation and replacement procedures to prevent inadvertent use of affected parts.
