What to do
Affected stakeholders, including military operators and maintenance organizations, should contact their responsible military airworthiness authority to obtain the applicable AD for TP400-D6 engines. They should monitor the list of CQC AD recommendations available through the expert area for updates. No specific compliance deadlines are provided in this document.
Summary
The document titled 'Engine — Propeller Shaft — Inspection' is an explanatory statement issued by EASA regarding the absence of an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for Europrop International GmbH TP400-D6 engines. These engines are not currently in civil service, so no public AD exists. The document serves as an informational record intended for military airworthiness authorities and design approval holders, recommending that affected military authorities issue their own ADs for aircraft equipped with TP400-D6 engines.
What changed
This document introduces an informational Airworthiness Directive record (ADR) rather than a formal AD, due to the lack of TP400-D6 engines in civil aviation. It clarifies that legally binding ADs for these engines are issued by the respective military authorities based on the country of aircraft registration. No new regulatory requirements are imposed by EASA in this document.
Why it matters
This matters for aviation professionals because it clarifies the regulatory status of TP400-D6 engines, ensuring that military operators and maintenance organizations understand that compliance is governed by military authorities rather than EASA. It helps avoid confusion about the applicability of civil ADs to these engines and guides stakeholders to the correct source for mandatory instructions.
