What to do
Operators of RRJ-95 aircraft with serial numbers 95007 to 95220 must conduct weekly inspections of the slat track links and bearings as specified until the full replacement service bulletin is implemented. Any detected cracks or bearing damage require immediate replacement of the affected assemblies following the approved maintenance manual tasks. Inspection results must be reported to SCAC’s Operational Situation Center via the provided email address. This directive is effective immediately upon publication.
Summary
Airworthiness Directive 2019-FATA-01020A-06 issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation addresses cracks found on the inner ring of bearings of the link of track of slat sections on RRJ-95 aircraft. This directive mandates inspections and replacements of affected track link assemblies on specific RRJ-95 aircraft with manufacturer serial numbers ranging from 95007 to 95220. The directive aims to ensure continued airworthiness and safety of the RRJ-95 fleet by timely detecting and correcting these structural issues.
What changed
This directive introduces mandatory weekly inspections of the links of tracks and their bearings on slat sections 1 through 4 of the left-hand and right-hand outer wings of RRJ-95 aircraft. It requires immediate replacement of any cracked or damaged track link assemblies with specified configurations and continues inspections until a service bulletin for full replacement is implemented. It also supersedes the previous Airworthiness Directive 2019-322-03.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to prevent potential structural failures caused by cracks in the slat track link bearings, which could compromise flight safety. Compliance ensures early detection and correction of defects, minimizing the risk of in-flight issues and costly unscheduled maintenance. It also provides clear guidance on inspection intervals and replacement procedures, facilitating regulatory compliance and operational reliability.
