I've been searching for confirmation that Qantas did perform the inspections mentioned in the August AD.
Mr Joyce said "Qantas met all the requirements of two Airworthiness Directives (ADs) applying to the Trent 900 engine. We take compliance with any Airworthiness Directives extremely seriously,” he said. “Two ADs applied to the Trent 900 engines we use on our A380s. One is no longer relevant to Qantas following an engine modification, and we are fully compliant with the other."
I wonder why he didn't just say the inspections were done.
Since the AD required inspection within 150 flight cycles, a long time on an A380, maybe QF can be "fully compliant" without doing the work.
