EASA AD 2010-0054-CN
CANCELLED: Flight Controls — Tab-to-Actuator Linkage — Inspection
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2010-0054-CN cancels the previous EASA AD 2010-0054, which applied to Dornier 328-100 and 328-300 aeroplanes. The cancellation reflects that the inspection requirements for the flight controls' tab-to-actuator linkage are now incorporated into updated Airworthiness Limitations Sections (ALS) approved by EASA. This notice affects all manufacturer serial numbers of Dornier 328-100 and 328-300 aircraft.
What Changed
EASA AD 2010-0054-CN officially cancels the earlier AD 2010-0054 because the inspection tasks originally mandated are now included in revised and more restrictive ALS documents. New ADs 2019-0270 and 2019-0271 have taken over the requirements for the Dornier 328-100 and 328-300 models respectively, rendering the original AD obsolete.
Why It Matters
This cancellation clarifies compliance obligations for operators and maintenance organizations by consolidating inspection requirements into the ALS, which are mandatory for continued airworthiness. It ensures that maintenance programs reflect the latest approved procedures, reducing confusion and improving safety management. Compliance teams must update their documentation to align with the current ADs and ALS.
What To Do
Affected operators and maintenance providers should discontinue referencing EASA AD 2010-0054 and instead follow the updated Airworthiness Limitations Sections and the requirements set forth in EASA AD 2019-0270 for Dornier 328-100 and AD 2019-0271 for Dornier 328-300 aeroplanes. No further action is required specifically for this cancellation notice. The effective date for this cancellation is 2019-11-13.
