What to do

Affected stakeholders, including military operators and maintenance teams of the Airbus A400M, should contact their responsible military airworthiness authority to obtain the applicable airworthiness directive. They should follow the instructions and compliance requirements issued by those authorities to ensure continued airworthiness and safety.

Summary

The document titled 'Wings — Centre Wing Box Upper Cover Panel Fasteners — Inspection' is an informational Airworthiness Directive record related to the Airbus A400M military aircraft. It explains that no official EASA Airworthiness Directive exists for this subject because there are currently no Airbus A400M aeroplanes in civil service. The document serves as a recommendation for military airworthiness authorities to issue their own applicable directives.

What changed

This document introduces an advisory record rather than a formal regulation, providing guidance on inspecting the centre wing box upper cover panel fasteners for the Airbus A400M. It clarifies that legally binding requirements are issued by the responsible military authorities, not EASA, due to the aircraft's exclusive military use.

Why it matters

This matters for aviation professionals involved with the Airbus A400M because it highlights the absence of a civil AD and directs operators and maintenance organizations to consult their respective military authorities for compliance requirements. It ensures that maintenance and safety oversight continue through military channels despite the lack of a public EASA AD.
