Australia’s Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) have released their safety recommendations and the results of the preliminary investigation relating to the failure of a Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine on a Qantas A380 last month. The report by the ATSB identifies an overspeed-related failure in the intermediate pressure turbine disc in the engine, and identifies a potential manufacturing defect with an oil tube connection to the high-pressure (HP)/intermediate-pressure (IP) bearing structure of the Trent 900 engine. Qantas has gained an injunction against Rolls-Royce in the Australian Federal Court and now pushes its claims for compensation, with the background threat of further litigation if agreement on terms is not possible.
