Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce 

Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG 

(RRD) Model RB211–Trent 800 engines. 

This proposed AD was prompted by 

reports of cracks on certain 

intermediate-pressure compressor (IPC) 

rotor shaft balance lands. This proposed 

AD would require initial and repetitive 

on-wing or in-shop borescope 

inspections (BSIs) of certain IPC rotor 

shaft balance lands for cracks, dents, 

and nicks, and replacement of the IPC 

rotor shaft if necessary, and would 

prohibit the installation of a certain IPC 

rotor shaft on any engine, as specified 

in a European Union Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed 

for incorporation by reference (IBR). The 

FAA is proposing this AD to address the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this NPRM by October 30, 2023 . 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt 

from public disclosure. If your 

comments responsive to this NPRM 

contain commercial or financial 

information that is customarily treated 

as private, that you actually treat as 

private, and that is relevant or 

responsive to this NPRM, it is important 

that you clearly designate the submitted 

comments as CBI. Please mark each 

page of your submission containing CBI 

as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such 

marked submissions as confidential 

under the FOIA, and they will not be 

placed in the public docket of this 

NPRM. Submissions containing CBI 

should be sent to Sungmo Cho, Aviation 

Safety Engineer, FAA, 2200 South 216th 

Street, Des Moines, WA 98198. Any 

commentary that the FAA receives 

which is not specifically designated as 

CBI will be placed in the public docket 

for this rulemaking. 

Background 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued European Union 

Aviation Safety Agency AD 2023–0040, 

dated February 16, 2023 (EASA AD 

2023–0040) (also referred to after this as 

the MCAI), to address an unsafe 

condition for all RRD Model 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 (RB211–Trent 800) engines. The 

MCAI states that cracking on the IPC 

rotor shaft balance land has been 

historically observed on RRD Model 

RB211–Trent 800 engines. To address 

this unsafe condition, the manufacturer 

developed a modification, which 

introduced a revised balancing method 

that removed the original balancing 

weights from the IPC rotor shaft, and 

published service information to 

provide instructions for in-service 

modification. In addition, the 

manufacturer published service 

information to provide instructions for 

in-shop eddy current (EC) inspection of 

the IPC rotor shaft balance land. 

Consequently, EASA issued AD 2014– 

0152, dated June 20, 2014; corrected 

June 25, 2014; revised March 2, 2018 

(EASA AD 2014–0152R1). 

Since EASA issued EASA AD 2014– 

0152R1, the manufacturer determined 

that certain RB211–Trent 800 engines 

were not inspected during engine 

refurbishment. The manufacturer then 

identified the IPC rotor shaft balance 

lands that were not inspected and 

published service information that 

describes procedures to perform a BSI of 

the IPC rotor shaft balance land until the 

in-shop EC inspection is accomplished. 

To address this, EASA issued the MCAI. 

This condition, if not addressed, could 

lead to IPC rotor shaft failure and 

consequent uncontained high-energy 

debris, resulting in damage to the 

airplane. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1880. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2023– 

0040, which specifies procedures for 

performing initial and repetitive onwing or in-shop BSIs of the IPC rotor 

shaft balance land for cracks, dents, and 

nicks, and replacing the IPC rotor shaft 

if necessary. The MCAI also specifies 

prohibiting the installation of a certain 

IPC rotor shaft on any engine and that 

accomplishing an in-shop EC inspection 

of the IPC rotor shaft balance land or 

replacing the IPC rotor shaft constitutes 

as terminating action for the repetitive 

BSIs. 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in ADDRESSES. 

FAA’s Determination 

These products have been approved 

by the aviation authority of another 

country and are approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to the 

FAA’s bilateral agreement with this 

State of Design Authority, it has notified 

the FAA of the unsafe condition 

described in the MCAI described above. 

The FAA is issuing this NPRM after 

determining that the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the MCAI described previously, except 

for any differences identified as 

exceptions in the regulatory text of this 

proposed AD.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2023 / Proposed Rules 63541 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has since coordinated 

with other manufacturers and CAAs to 

use this process. As a result, the FAA 

proposes to incorporate by reference 

EASA AD 2023–0040 in the FAA final 

rule. This proposed AD would, 

therefore, require compliance with 

EASA AD 2023–0040 in its entirety 

through that incorporation, except for 

any differences identified as exceptions 

in the regulatory text of this proposed 

AD. Using common terms that are the 

same as the heading of a particular 

section in the EASA AD does not mean 

that operators need comply only with 

that section. For example, where the AD 

requirement refers to ‘‘all required 

actions within the compliance times,’’ 

compliance with this AD requirement is 

not limited to the section titled 

‘‘Required Action(s) and Compliance 

Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 2023–0040. 

Service information required by the 

EASA AD for compliance will be 

available at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1880 after the 

FAA final rule is published. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 194 

engines installed on airplanes of U.S. 

registry. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

BSI of IPC rotor shaft balance land ................ 4.5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $382.50 ..... $0 $382.50 $74,205 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary replacements 

that would be required based on the 

results of the proposed inspection. The 

agency has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need these 

replacements: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Replace IPC rotor shaft ................................................ 50 work-hours × $85 per hour = $4,250 ...................... $2,123,908 $2,128,158 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

modify Class E airspace to support 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

at Spanish Fork Municipal Airport/ 

Woodhouse Field, Spanish Fork, UT.
