The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has released a new rule replacing a previous directive for certain Rolls-Royce engines. This rule requires routine visual inspections and potential replacements of parts prone to cracks in the engines. The rule allows for engine modifications to prevent future inspections and incorporates European safety standards. The goal is to ensure the safety of aircraft by addressing risks associated with engine component failures.

The FAA made a new rule for certain airplane engines to keep them safe by checking for broken parts and fixing them if needed, and they also use special check-ups from Europe to make airplanes safer.
