Reading Time:about 12 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive for certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Model Trent XWB-97 engines. This action is due to damage reports concerning the main fuel hose assembly, which may lead to in-flight shutdowns and potential engine fires. To address these concerns, the directive mandates inspections and possible replacements of the damaged components. Public comments on this rule are invited until March 17, 2025, although the rule is set to take effect on February 18, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA, which helps keep airplanes safe, found a problem with a part in some engines that might make them stop in the air, so they want people to check and fix it to avoid any trouble.
