What to do
Operators must inspect the installation of affected lavatory waste bins within six months of 14 May 2019, the effective date. If interference is found, modification and replacement must be completed before the next flight; if no interference is found, these actions must be done within 18 months of the effective date. After modification, installation of affected parts is prohibited, and no affected fire extinguishers may be installed from the effective date onward.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0095 is an airworthiness directive addressing Fokker F28 Mark 0070 and Mark 0100 aeroplanes. It focuses on the inspection, modification, and replacement of lavatory waste bins and fire extinguishers to prevent interference that could cause fire extinguisher failure. The directive applies to specific lavatory waste bin part numbers and fire extinguishers with certain part numbers installed on these aircraft.
What changed
This new airworthiness directive introduces a one-time inspection requirement for affected lavatory waste bins and fire extinguishers to verify proper clearance and detect interference. It mandates modification of the waste bins and replacement of fire extinguishers if interference is found. Additionally, it prohibits the installation or reinstallation of affected waste bins and fire extinguishers after modification or from the effective date.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because depleted fire extinguishers due to damaged discharge tubes pose a significant safety risk in case of a lavatory fire. Operators and maintenance teams must ensure compliance to prevent potential failure of fire suppression systems, thereby protecting aircraft integrity and occupant safety. Non-compliance could result in regulatory penalties and increased risk during emergency situations.
