Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a safety inspection rule for aircraft mechanics and operators who use specific Artouste 111B turbine engines (those with Modification No. 8). It mandates regular checks of the combustion chamber's inner shell — the part of the engine where fuel burns at high temperatures.

Who it affects:

Operators and maintainers of Artouste 111B engines with Mod. No. 8

What you must do:

Inspect the "NK Inner Shell" of the combustion chamber for cracks, wear, or damage that could cause engine failure

When:

At least every 100 hours of flight time (time in service)

How:

Follow the technical procedures in Turbomeca Service Bulletin No. 72.218.0018, or alternatively comply with the older directive AD/TURB-T/1

This rule exists to catch deterioration in this critical high-temperature component before it leads to catastrophic engine failure.
