SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2024-0010
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0091 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all certified models of Airbus A310 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the updated Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items as specified in Airbus A310 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 2 Revision 03 and Variation 3.1. This directive ensures the continued airworthiness of Airbus A310 aircraft by enforcing updated maintenance tasks and intervals.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0091 supersedes the previous AD 2017-0206 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and intervals as published in the latest Airbus A310 ALS Part 2 Revision 03 and Variation 3.1. It retains the previous requirements while incorporating updated damage tolerant airworthiness limitation items to enhance safety.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures that Airbus A310 operators and maintenance organizations adhere to the latest approved maintenance standards, preventing unsafe conditions caused by structural damage. Compliance with these updated airworthiness limitations is mandatory to maintain aircraft certification and operational safety. It also streamlines record-keeping by allowing AMP revisions to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
What To Do
Operators of Airbus A310 aeroplanes must accomplish all maintenance tasks specified in the updated ALS 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 of the effective date to incorporate the new tasks and intervals.
