EASA AD 2019-FATA-01020A-07
SUPERSEDED BY FATA AD 2021-FATA-01020A-07
Summary
Airworthiness Directive 2019-FATA-01020A-07 issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation addresses mandatory inspections and corrective actions for RRJ-95 aircraft. It corrects references related to the one-time inspection of bearings in the links of tracks of slat section 1 on the left-hand and right-hand outer wings. The directive provides updated inspection procedures and replacement requirements to ensure continued airworthiness.
What Changed
This directive amends item 2 of the previous AD 2019-FATA-01020A-06 by correcting the reference to the inspection task for the bearings of slat section 1 tracks. It also clarifies implementation procedures for inspections and replacements based on updated technical decisions and information letters. The directive supersedes earlier technical decisions and provides detailed instructions for inspections during weekly checks.
Why It Matters
The directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to detect and address cracks and bearing failures in slat track links, which could affect flight safety. Compliance ensures timely identification and replacement of damaged components, preventing potential structural failures. It also standardizes inspection procedures, aiding regulatory compliance and maintenance planning.
What To Do
Operators of RRJ-95 aircraft must perform weekly inspections of slat track links and bearings as specified in the updated AMM tasks. One-time inspections of slat section 1 bearings must be conducted according to the corrected references. Any detected cracks or bearing damage require immediate replacement of the affected track link assemblies. Compliance with these actions must begin by August 20, 2019, following the amended procedures.
