It addresses mandatory corrective actions related to the emergency exit door and emergency escape slide system, focusing on additional operational tests and inspections to ensure proper functionality and airworthiness support.
What Changed
This directive introduces mandatory operational tests of the dampers in the Emergency Power Assist System for forward and aft entry and service doors during each DY-Check. It also requires one-time checks of the correct installation of emergency escape slides and adjustment of door components within 8 days at the nearest WY-Check. The directive mandates video recording of tests and reporting results to the Operational Situation Center of the Irkut Corporation.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures the safety and reliability of emergency exit doors and escape slides on RRJ-95 aircraft. Compliance helps prevent potential malfunctions during emergency evacuations, thereby enhancing passenger safety. Maintenance and compliance teams must integrate these checks into their routine procedures to maintain regulatory compliance and aircraft airworthiness.
What To Do
Operators and maintenance personnel must perform operational tests of the Emergency Power Assist System dampers at every DY-Check and conduct one-time inspections and adjustments of emergency escape slides and door mechanisms within 8 days at the next WY-Check. All test activities must be video recorded, and results reported to the Operational Situation Center at customercare@scac.ru. Any non-compliance found during tests must be addressed following manufacturer recommendations until a superseding directive is issued.
