The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-0182 for Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines fitted on Airbus A350 aircraft.
In-service and in-shop inspections since then have identified that a specific cleaning process available during engine refurbishment may lead to fuel manifold main fuel hose degradation. The new AD responds to this development.
