What to do
Operators of Airbus A330 and A340 aeroplanes should continue with the repetitive inspection tasks as outlined in the latest Maintenance Review Board Reports. No further action is required regarding the one-time inspection mandated by the cancelled AD 2020-0273. Stakeholders should update their compliance records to reflect the cancellation effective from 2024-12-17.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2020-0273-CN cancels the previous EASA AD 2020-0273 which applied to Airbus A330 and A340 aeroplanes. The cancelled directive addressed inspection and replacement requirements for oxygen supply solenoid valves with specific part numbers and manufacturing years. This cancellation applies to all manufacturer serial numbers of the affected Airbus A330 and A340 models.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0273, which mandated a one-time special detailed inspection and possible replacement of certain oxygen supply solenoid valves on Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft, has been cancelled. The cancellation follows the introduction of repetitive inspections in the Maintenance Review Board Reports and the absence of findings from the initial mandated inspection.
Why it matters
This cancellation simplifies maintenance requirements for operators and maintenance organizations by removing the need for the one-time special detailed inspection previously required. It reflects confidence in the ongoing repetitive inspection tasks and the reliability of the affected solenoid valves, reducing administrative and operational burdens while maintaining safety standards.
