For the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below revokes Airworthiness Directive (AD) AD/TAY/2
Amdt 1 and issues the following AD under subregulation 39.1 (1) of CASR 1998. The AD requires that the action set out in the requirement section (being
action that the delegate considers necessary to correct the unsafe condition) be taken in relation to the aircraft or aeronautical product mentioned in the
applicability section: (a) in the circumstances mentioned in the requirement section; and (b) in accordance with the instructions set out in the requirement
section; and (c) at the time mentioned in the compliance section.

Amdt 2

Applicability: Rolls Royce Tay 611-8, 620-15, 620-15/20, 650-15, 650-15/10 and 651-54 model
engines.

Requirement: Perform ultrasonic inspection on the LP compressor rotor blades per Rolls Royce SB
TAY 72-1442 Revision 3.

Note: LBA AD D-1998-055R3 refers. CASA AD/TAY/9 incorporates other

requirements of the LBA AD.

Compliance: Unless previously accomplished, in accordance with the requirement document from
the effective date of this Directive.

This Amendment becomes effective on 18 March 2004.

root. Rolls Royce have developed an ultrasonic inspection procedure to detect this
crack initiation and is mandated by this Directive.

This amendment changes the revision status of the requirement document which
includes changes to the inspection interval and extends the applicability per the
requirements of the LBA AD.

Amdt 1 of this Directive became effective on 15 June 2000.
