What to do
Operators of affected Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aircraft must perform a detailed inspection of the cabin oxygen containers and adjacent panel fasteners within four months of the directive's effective date. If any discrepancies are found, corrective actions must be completed before the next flight. Compliance must follow the instructions provided in Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A35P015-19.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0210 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes. It mandates inspection of cabin oxygen containers and adjacent panel fasteners to ensure proper installation and prevent oxygen mask deployment failure. The directive applies to specific manufacturer serial numbers as listed in Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A35P015-19.
What changed
This directive introduces a one-time inspection requirement for oxygen containers and adjacent panels in passenger supply channels due to findings of damaged or unlocked fasteners during production inspections. It requires corrective actions if discrepancies are found to prevent potential oxygen supply failure. This is a new regulation addressing a specific unsafe condition identified in Airbus A350 aircraft.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because improper installation of oxygen containers can lead to non-deployment of oxygen masks during cabin decompression, posing a safety risk to passengers and crew. Operators and maintenance organizations must ensure compliance to maintain aircraft airworthiness and passenger safety. Failure to comply could result in regulatory penalties and increased risk during emergency situations.
