Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0090 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all certified models and serial numbers of Airbus A300-600 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items as specified in the Airbus A300-600 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 2, Revision 03. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by updating maintenance tasks and intervals.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0090 supersedes the previous AD 2017-0205 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and intervals as published in the latest Airbus A300-600 ALS Part 2 Revision 03. It retains the previous requirements while incorporating updated damage tolerant airworthiness limitations to enhance safety.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures that operators and maintenance organizations perform updated maintenance tasks to prevent unsafe conditions related to structural integrity. Compliance with these updated airworthiness limitations is mandatory to maintain the aircraft's certification and operational safety. It also streamlines record-keeping by allowing AMP revisions to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
What To Do
Operators of Airbus A300-600 aeroplanes must accomplish all maintenance tasks specified in the ALS Part 2 Revision 03 within the defined thresholds and intervals starting from the effective date of 2019-05-10. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months after the effective date to incorporate the updated tasks and intervals.
