What to do
Operators of Fokker F27 Mark 050, Mark 0502, and Mark 0604 aeroplanes must replace Safe Life Items before exceeding their retirement life limits and perform all applicable structural airworthiness limitation tasks within specified intervals. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to include the new or more restrictive tasks from ALS Part 2, Report SE-622 issue 14. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following approved procedures or by consulting Fokker Services if necessary.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0184 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Fokker F27 Mark 050, Mark 0502, and Mark 0604 aeroplanes. It mandates the implementation of updated Airworthiness Limitation Items and Safe Life Items as specified in Fokker Services Report SE-622 issue 14, which is part of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness ALS Part 2. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring operators to comply with new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks.
What changed
EASA AD 2020-0184 introduces the latest revision (issue 14) of Fokker Services Report SE-622, which contains new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and retirement life limits for Safe Life Items. It supersedes the previous requirements from issue 13 of the same report that were included in EASA AD 2014-0223. The directive separates the ALS Part 2 requirements from the earlier AD and requires operators to update their maintenance programs accordingly.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it mandates compliance with updated maintenance tasks that are essential for the safe operation of affected Fokker F27 aircraft. Operators and maintenance organizations must incorporate these changes to prevent unsafe conditions caused by exceeding safe life limits or missing structural airworthiness limitations. Compliance ensures regulatory adherence and continued airworthiness under EU regulations.
