Following the Boeing 777 accident at Heathrow last week, the American
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just released an
Airworthiness Directive (AD) with the following title:- (Note that
the engines referred to are SPECIFICALLY Rolls-Royce which will be a
major blow for the Derby operation.)

A most unfortunate time for this AD to come out for Rolls-Royce. Even
if the events are unrelated.




Actually, stuff like this comes out all the time. Minor refinements in
operation because of some difficulty or another encountered. Pretty much
all jet engines are operaed in this fashion and this AD seems to be pretty
much standard stuff. I'd say it's issue at this time is purely
coincidental.
