What to do
Affected operators and maintenance providers should discontinue compliance with EASA AD 2020-0190 and instead follow the requirements set forth in EASA AD 2021-0246 and AD 2021-0247, which reference Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 1 Revision 11. No new actions or compliance deadlines arise from this cancellation notice itself.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2020-0190-CN is a cancellation notice for the previously issued EASA AD 2020-0190, which applied to Airbus A330-223F, A330-243F, A340-213, and A340-313 aeroplanes. This cancellation reflects updates in the Airbus A330 and A340 Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS) Part 1 documents, specifically Revision 11, which introduced new or more restrictive maintenance tasks.
What changed
EASA AD 2020-0190, which mandated actions related to reduced life limits for the Nose Landing Gear lower torque link and other maintenance checks, is cancelled. The cancellation follows the issuance of newer ADs 2021-0246 and 2021-0247 that require compliance with Airbus A330 and A340 ALS Part 1 Revision 11, rendering AD 2020-0190 unnecessary.
Why it matters
This cancellation clarifies the current mandatory maintenance requirements for Airbus A330 and A340 operators and maintenance organizations, ensuring they follow the most recent and relevant airworthiness limitations. It helps avoid confusion by removing outdated directives and aligns compliance efforts with the latest approved maintenance instructions, thereby supporting continued airworthiness and safety.
