What to do
Operators of affected Airbus A319, A320, and A321 models must modify each affected galley by replacing the end stop bumpers within 48 months from the effective date of 29 May 2019. Compliance can be achieved by following the instructions in the applicable Airbus Service Bulletins or approved alternative methods. Early compliance with previously issued service bulletins is credited towards meeting this directive's requirements.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0106 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency applicable to Airbus A319, A320, and A321 aeroplanes. It addresses the replacement of damaged container/galley end stop bumpers to ensure the secure positioning of galleys on the aircraft. The directive applies to specific Airbus models and serial numbers as listed in the relevant Airbus Service Bulletins.
What changed
This directive introduces a mandatory modification requiring the replacement of affected galley end stop bumpers with serviceable parts to prevent potential detachment. It provides compliance options through Airbus Service Bulletins and accepts alternative methods of compliance under certain conditions. The directive does not supersede any previous AD but is itself superseded by EASA AD 2022-0026.
Why it matters
The condition addressed by EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0106 is critical because damaged or deformed galley end stops can fail to secure containers or galleys, potentially leading to detachment during forward loading. This poses a safety risk to aircraft occupants and affects the continued airworthiness of the aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure timely modifications to maintain safety and regulatory compliance.
