Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-Trent 800
Series Turbofan Engines
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that
published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to RR RB211-Trent
875-17, RB211-Trent 877-17, RB211-Trent 884-17, RB211-Trent 884B-17,
RB211-Trent 892-17, RB211-Trent 892B-17, and RB211-Trent 895-17
turbofan engines. The compliance instructions in the regulatory section
paragraphs (e)(3) and (e)(5) are partially correct and do not fully
meet our original intent. This document corrects those errors. In all
other respects, the original document remains the same.
DATES: The effective date for AD 2011-08-07 remains June 7, 2011.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The address for the
Docket Office (phone: 800-647-5527) is Document Management Facility,
U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West
Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airworthiness Directive 2011-08-07,
Amendment 39-16657 (76 FR 24798, May 3, 2011), currently requires
initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspections of the affected low-
pressure compressor blades, identified by serial number.
As published, paragraph (e)(3) in the regulatory section
inadvertently referenced RR Alert Service Bulletin (SB) No. RB.211-72-
AG244, Revision 1, dated January 26, 2010, for performing the
ultrasonic inspections of blades, without differentiating between
blades removed or blades installed. Also as published, paragraph (e)(5)
in the regulatory section inadvertently left out that it applies only
to blades that were removed. This document corrects those errors.
No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
changed; therefore, only the changed portion of the final rule is being
published in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains June 7, 2011.
