EASA AD 2020-0104R1-CN
CANCELLED: Oxygen — Oxygen Supply Solenoid Valve — Inspection / Replacement
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2020-0104R1-CN cancels the previous AD 2020-0104R1 concerning the inspection and replacement of oxygen supply solenoid valves on Airbus A318, A319, A320, and A321 aircraft. The affected parts are specific solenoid valves with part numbers DVE90-06 or DVE90-07 manufactured up to 2016. This cancellation applies to all manufacturer serial numbers of these aircraft models.
What Changed
This cancellation notice officially withdraws the requirement for a one-time special detailed inspection and possible replacement of affected oxygen supply solenoid valves mandated by AD 2020-0104R1. Since no issues were found following the initial inspections and a repetitive inspection was incorporated into the Maintenance Review Board Report in 2023, the one-time inspection is no longer necessary.
Why It Matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation reduces the inspection burden and associated maintenance costs related to the oxygen supply solenoid valves on affected Airbus aircraft. Operators and maintenance organizations can rely on the updated Maintenance Review Board Report for ongoing monitoring, ensuring continued safety without redundant inspections. Compliance teams can update their records to reflect the removal of this AD requirement.
What To Do
Affected operators and maintenance organizations should note that no further action is required under EASA AD 2020-0104R1-CN as the one-time inspection mandate is cancelled. They should continue to follow the repetitive inspection procedures introduced in the Maintenance Review Board Report revision 26 dated November 2023. No compliance deadlines apply due to this cancellation.
