FAA supersedes AD for Rolls‑Royce Deutschland BR700 engines, adds stricter limits

The FAA has superseded Airworthiness Directive 2009‑04‑13 for Rolls‑Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG model BR700‑715A1‑30, BR700‑715B1‑30 and BR700‑715C1‑30 engines, requiring operators to revise the airworthiness limitations section of their approved engine maintenance or inspection programs to include new or more restrictive tasks, limitations, thresholds and intervals for life‑limited parts, and to remove certain low‑pressure compressor (fan) disc assemblies from service while completing the Life Limited Part Tracking Sheet.

The update follows revisions by the manufacturer to the engine time limits manual since the original AD, which introduced additional or tighter tasks and limits for life‑limited components.
