EASA AD 2019-0161
Engine — Low Pressure Turbine Speed Probe System — Modification
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive record titled 'Engine — Low Pressure Turbine Speed Probe System — Modification' addresses the Europrop International GmbH TP400-D6 engine. Since no TP400-D6 engines are currently in civil service, no public AD document exists. This record serves as an informational notice primarily for military airworthiness authorities and design approval holders.
What Changed
This document introduces an advisory record rather than a formal AD, recommending military authorities to issue their own airworthiness directives for aircraft equipped with TP400-D6 engines. It clarifies that legally binding requirements are issued by the responsible military authority based on the country of registration.
Why It Matters
This matters because it informs aviation professionals that no civil AD applies to TP400-D6 engines at this time, but military operators must follow their national military ADs. It helps operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams understand the regulatory framework and where to obtain applicable directives for these engines.
What To Do
Affected stakeholders should contact their respective military airworthiness authority to obtain the applicable military AD for TP400-D6 engines. They should monitor updates from the military authorities and ensure compliance with any issued military ADs. No civil compliance deadline is specified in this record.
