What to do
Operators must switch off the Automatic Doors Opening System EPAS on RRJ-95 aircraft with serial numbers 95007 to 95179 and specified door arm part numbers. They must relieve nitrogen pressure from the EPAS bottles, inspect door mechanisms for serviceability, and mark doors accordingly. Flight operations may continue under these conditions until the introduction of service bulletin RRJ-52-00485-Bfl. The directive is effective immediately upon signing.
Summary
NOT ADOPTED - EASA DECISION ATTACHED is an Airworthiness Directive issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation on 2020-03-11. It applies to RRJ-95 aircraft with specific door arm part numbers and manufacturing serial numbers from 95007 to 95179. The directive addresses issues with the Emergency exit door and emergency escape slide system, focusing on the automatic door opening system EPAS.
What changed
This directive mandates switching off the Automatic Doors Opening System EPAS on affected RRJ-95 aircraft and requires relief of pressure from the EPAS bottles. It also requires marking the doors as 'DOOR OPENS MANUALLY' and prohibits performing a previous directive if EPAS is switched off. The directive introduces a temporary configuration until a service bulletin is introduced.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for ensuring the continued airworthiness and safety of RRJ-95 aircraft by addressing unpredictable degradation of door damper properties. It impacts operators and maintenance organizations by changing emergency door operation procedures and requiring specific inspections and markings. Compliance ensures safe manual operation of emergency exits in case of EPAS failure.
