What to do
Affected operators must replace components before exceeding new life limits, perform maintenance tasks within revised intervals, and ensure flight profile monitoring as specified. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the AD's effective date to incorporate the updated tasks and limitations. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected per Rolls-Royce approved instructions before further flight.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Proposal 26-136 is an amendment concerning Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines installed on Boeing 787 aircraft. It updates the Time Limits Manual and Maintenance Programme requirements to Revision 45 of the Trent 1000 Time Limits Manual. The directive applies to multiple Trent 1000 engine variants and mandates compliance with revised maintenance tasks and life limits.
What changed
This amendment supersedes EASA AD 2023-0195 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks, life limits, and inspection requirements as specified in Revision 45 of the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 Time Limits Manual. It also updates the Direct Accumulation Counting software and extends applicability to additional critical parts. Operators must now follow these updated instructions to maintain airworthiness.
Why it matters
This directive ensures continued airworthiness and safety of Trent 1000 engines by enforcing updated maintenance and inspection requirements. Aviation professionals, including operators and maintenance organizations, must adapt their maintenance programs to these changes to avoid unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. It also streamlines compliance recording by allowing AMP revisions to demonstrate adherence.
