EASA AD 2025-0266
Engine — High Pressure Turbine Blades — Inspection
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0266 is an airworthiness directive addressing inspection requirements for high pressure turbine (HPT) blades, part number KH64485, installed on Rolls-Royce Trent 7000-72 and Trent 7000-72C engines, commonly found on Airbus A330 (NEO) aircraft. The directive mandates on-wing borescope inspections to detect axial cracking and specifies corrective actions including engine removal and blade replacement if cracks exceed defined limits. It applies to engines except those modified with mod 72-K336, which introduces redesigned blades not affected by this unsafe condition.
