What to do
Operators must replace parts before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified intervals starting from the effective date of 2019-04-09. Within 12 months of this date, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised to incorporate the updated maintenance tasks and life limits. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight or as specified in the maintenance documentation.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0062 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all serial numbers of PZL SW-4 helicopters. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations as specified in the PZL SW-4 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness - Maintenance Manual, Revision 14 dated November 2018. This directive ensures the continued airworthiness of these helicopters by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0062 supersedes the previous AD 2014-0054 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as published in the latest revision of the airworthiness limitations section of the maintenance manual. It retains previous requirements while adding updated thresholds and intervals for maintenance and replacement of life-limited parts.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams to prevent unsafe conditions by ensuring that all maintenance tasks and life limits are up to date and strictly followed. Failure to comply could compromise helicopter safety and regulatory compliance, potentially grounding aircraft or leading to unsafe operations.
