What to do

Affected stakeholders should contact the responsible military airworthiness authority to obtain the applicable ADs for the Airbus A400M. They should monitor updates from these authorities and ensure compliance with any military-issued directives. No public compliance deadlines are specified in this document.

Summary

EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0002 is a regulatory document concerning the Airbus A400M aircraft. It explains that no civil Airbus A400M aeroplanes are currently in service, so no publicly available Airworthiness Directive (AD) exists for this aircraft. The document serves as an informational record and recommends that military authorities issue their own ADs for affected aircraft.

What changed

This document introduces an explanatory statement clarifying the absence of a public AD for the Airbus A400M due to its exclusive military use. It establishes that the legally binding ADs for this aircraft type are issued by the respective military authorities rather than EASA.

Why it matters

This matters for aviation professionals because it clarifies that compliance with ADs for the Airbus A400M is managed through military channels, not civilian regulatory bodies. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must coordinate with military authorities to obtain applicable ADs and ensure airworthiness.
