Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2007-0256-CN cancels the previous EASA AD 2007-0256 concerning Pacific Scientific Company seat restraint system plastic rotary buckle handles. The affected parts include Pacific Scientific rotary buckles with part numbers 1111430-XX and 1111475-XX, manufactured between November 2004 and May 2007, installed on TSO-C114 approved restraint systems used on Airbus Helicopters AS 350, AS 355, EC120, EC130, and EC155 models. This cancellation aligns with FAA AD 2021-07-13 and reflects that the original compliance period has expired for rotorcraft in EASA states.
What changed
This document cancels EASA AD 2007-0256, which required inspection and replacement of certain Pacific Scientific rotary buckle handles due to cracking issues. The cancellation is based on the expiration of the original compliance deadline and the adoption of FAA AD 2021-07-13 as the governing directive for these parts. No new inspection or replacement requirements are introduced by this cancellation notice.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation clarifies that the original safety concerns related to the Pacific Scientific rotary buckle handles on rotorcraft have been addressed and that no further action under EASA AD 2007-0256 is required. Operators and maintenance organizations can rely on FAA AD 2021-07-13 for ongoing compliance regarding these parts, especially for fixed-wing aircraft not covered by the original EASA AD. This reduces regulatory overlap and simplifies compliance management.
