EASA AD 2019-0259
SUPERSEDED BY EASA ADR 2022-0107
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Record SUPERSEDED BY EASA ADR 2022-0107 is an informational document regarding the Europrop International GmbH TP400-D6 engine. It states that no Europrop TP400-D6 engines are currently in civil service, so no public Airworthiness Directive (AD) exists. The document serves as a recommendation to military authorities to issue their own ADs for affected military aircraft equipped with these engines.
What Changed
This document introduces an explanatory statement clarifying the absence of a publicly available AD for the TP400-D6 engine due to its exclusive military use. It establishes that legally binding ADs for these engines are issued by the responsible military authorities rather than EASA. The document itself is informational and does not impose new regulatory requirements.
Why It Matters
This matters to aviation professionals because it clarifies that compliance with ADs for TP400-D6 engines depends on military authority directives, not EASA public ADs. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must coordinate with military authorities to ensure airworthiness requirements are met. It helps avoid confusion about regulatory responsibilities for this engine model.
What To Do
Affected stakeholders should contact the responsible military airworthiness authority to obtain and comply with the applicable military AD for aircraft equipped with TP400-D6 engines. They should also consult the CQC list of AD recommendations available in the EXPERT AREA for guidance. No specific compliance deadlines are provided in this document.
