Summary

EASA Airworthiness Directive Record SUPERSEDED BY EASA ADR 2019-0097 is an explanatory statement regarding the absence of an Airworthiness Directive (AD) document for the Airbus A400M aircraft. Since there are currently no Airbus A400M aeroplanes in civil service, no publicly available AD exists. The document serves as an informational record intended for design approval holders and military airworthiness authorities.

What changed

This document introduces an informational AD record rather than a legally binding directive, highlighting that the applicable AD for Airbus A400M military aircraft is issued by the respective military authority. It clarifies that EASA does not issue a public AD for this aircraft type due to its exclusive military operation status.

Why it matters

This matters for aviation professionals because it clarifies the regulatory framework for Airbus A400M aircraft, emphasizing that compliance and airworthiness directives come from military authorities, not EASA. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must coordinate with their national military authorities for applicable ADs and recommendations.
