EASA AD 2021-0034R1
Powerplant — Front Engine Mount / Strut Mount and Thrust Link — Inspection
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2021-0034R1 is an updated regulatory requirement addressing inspection of the front engine mount, strut mount, and thrust link on Airbus A380-841 and A380-842 aeroplanes equipped with Rolls-Royce RB211 Trent 900 engines. The directive focuses on engines with affected compressor intermediate cases (CIC) that have salvage welds, which could compromise structural integrity. It mandates repetitive inspections to detect potential failures that could lead to engine detachment in flight.
