What to do

Affected stakeholders should review the updated parts list in EASA SIB 2008-49R1 and Rolls-Royce Worldwide Communication 20209 issue 2 to identify any parts from engines 12533 and 12534 in their inventory or installed on aircraft. They should avoid re-using parts identified as potentially damaged and ensure traceability of parts history. For further information or clarification, contact EASA Safety Information Section or Rolls-Royce Regional Customer Managers. No mandatory compliance deadline is specified.

Summary

EASA Safety Information Bulletin 2008-49R1 addresses the re-use of potentially damaged parts and components from Rolls-Royce Deutschland BR700-710 engines, specifically serial numbers 12533 and 12534. These engines are installed on aircraft such as the Bombardier BD-700 Global Express and Gulfstream GV and GV-SP series, including G500 and G550 variants. The bulletin informs operators and manufacturers about the risks associated with re-using parts from these engines following an incident that subjected them to loads beyond certified limits.

What changed

This revision of EASA SIB 2008-49 updates the list of parts and components subject to the original recommendations by removing certain parts that are not part of the BR700-710 engine design from the affected parts list. It confirms that these deleted parts are no longer subject to the reuse restrictions outlined in Rolls-Royce Worldwide Communication 20209 issue 2.

Why it matters

The bulletin is important for aviation professionals because it highlights potential safety risks from re-using engine parts that may have been damaged beyond certified limits during an incident. Operators, maintenance organizations, and manufacturers must be aware of which parts are affected to ensure continued airworthiness and avoid warranty issues. Proper identification and traceability of parts from the affected engines are critical for safety and regulatory compliance.
