Boeing 787-9 Trent 1000 Package C engines face further inspections

Boeing 787 operators with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 Package C engines face potential further disruptions to their flight schedules after the engine maker announced the need for further checks due to issues with the powerplant’s turbine blades.

Rolls-Royce said in a statement on April 13 the decision to carry out addition inspections, in addition to those previously planned when the problem first emerged 2016 and again in 2017, was as part of its “ongoing inspection and testing of those engines”.

“The increased inspection frequency is driven by our further understanding of the durability of the Trent 1000 Package C compressor, a condition that we highlighted earlier this year,” Rolls-Royce said.

“These inspections will be supported by service management and flight operations guidance to airlines to be issued by the airworthiness authorities.

“This will unfortunately lead to additional disruption for our customers.”
