Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0093 is an airworthiness directive issued for certain Airbus A330 models, specifically A330-202, A330-243, A330-243F, A330-302, A330-323, and A330-343 with specific manufacturer serial numbers. It addresses an unsafe condition related to cracks found in the ring gears of slat geared rotary actuators (SGRA) with part number 926C0000-01. The directive mandates inspection and replacement of affected parts to ensure continued airworthiness.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0093 introduces mandatory identification and replacement of affected slat geared rotary actuators on specified Airbus A330 aircraft. It requires operators to inspect parts within six months and replace any affected parts within 20,000 flight hours. This AD also establishes reporting requirements to Airbus following replacement.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because undetected cracks in the SGRA could lead to uncontrolled slat movement or detachment, potentially causing damage to stabilizers or reduced aircraft control. Compliance ensures flight safety and adherence to regulatory requirements, impacting operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams responsible for aircraft continued airworthiness.
