What to do
Operators of affected Airbus A350-941 aeroplanes must perform tightness checks of baby bassinet inserts within 30 days after 26 December 2018 and then every 8 days until modification is completed. If any loose attachment is found, corrective action must be taken before the next flight. The mandatory modification of the baby bassinet inserts must be completed within 3 months after 11 June 2019, which is the effective date of this AD, to terminate the repetitive inspection requirement.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0115 is an official regulatory document addressing the inspection and modification of baby bassinet inserts installed on Airbus A350-941 aeroplanes, specifically those with manufacturer serial numbers ranging from 0005 to 0255 as listed. The directive mandates repetitive inspections and corrective actions to ensure the secure attachment of baby bassinet inserts on stowages and partitions to prevent potential detachment and injury. It applies to Airbus A350 aircraft and involves specific part numbers and service bulletins for compliance.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0115 supersedes the previous AD 2018-0271 and retains its inspection requirements while introducing a mandatory modification of the baby bassinet inserts. The modification involves applying updated service bulletins developed by Airbus and Diehl Aviation to secure the inserts properly. This AD changes the compliance approach from repetitive inspections alone to include a terminating modification action within a specified timeframe.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals to prevent the risk of baby bassinet inserts becoming loose or detached during flight, which could cause injury to infants or other occupants. Operators and maintenance teams must ensure continued airworthiness by adhering to inspection intervals and performing required modifications. Compliance with this AD ensures safety and regulatory conformity, reducing the risk of in-flight incidents related to cabin furnishings.
