A proposal is not in force. If adopted, it becomes an AD, usually with changes. Only the Federal Register edition is official.

Summary

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Model Trent XWB-75, XWB-79, XWB-79B, and XWB-84 engines. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of differential oil pressure measurements that were lower than expected on in-service engines. This proposed AD would require modification of the engine with an improved front bearing housing oil feed tube assembly. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of an affected front bearing housing oil feed tube assembly on any engine. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
