Any discrepancies found during inspections must be corrected according to Rolls-Royce approved maintenance documentation before further flight if no specific compliance time is given.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2026-0113 is an amendment concerning Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines installed on Airbus A350 aircraft, including models Trent XWB-75, XWB-79, XWB-79B, XWB-84, and XWB-97. This directive updates the Time Limits Manual and Maintenance Programme to ensure continued airworthiness through mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits. It applies to all serial numbers of the affected engines.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2026-0113 supersedes the previous AD 2025-0119 by introducing new inspection criteria for the outlet guide vane outer mount ring assembly and revising inspection requirements for certain engine models following the introduction of revised IP8 pipes. It requires compliance with the updated Rolls-Royce Trent XWB Time Limits Manual Revision 064, which includes new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it mandates updated maintenance and inspection procedures to prevent unsafe conditions in Trent XWB engines. Operators and maintenance organizations must adhere to these requirements to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain engine reliability and safety. Failure to comply could result in operational restrictions or safety risks.
