What to do
Operators and maintenance teams must install new and reposition existing placards on specified doors during the next DY-Check maintenance. They must follow the updated manual door opening procedures as per the Aircraft Maintenance Manual and Cabin Crew Operational Manual. Compliance with these requirements must continue until the implementation of Service Bulletin RRJ-52-00485-БД, but no later than November 30, 2023. Any non-conformities found must be reported to the Irkut Corporation Operational Situation Center and addressed per manufacturer recommendations.
Summary
The Airworthiness Directive 2020-FATA-01020A-15 issued by the Federal Aviation Transport Agency of the Russian Federation addresses the RRJ-95 aircraft. It mandates corrective actions related to the manual opening procedure of doors equipped with specific door arms to ensure proper emergency slide deployment. This directive supplements a previous directive and applies to RRJ-95 aeroplanes with door arms part numbers A415406-001 Rev.E, A415406-003 Rev.E, A415406-005 Rev.E, and A415406-006 Rev.E.
What changed
This directive introduces the installation and repositioning of new placards on front passenger, front service, rear passenger, and service doors to instruct the correct manual door opening procedure when the emergency slide is extended. It also amends the manual door opening procedure to prevent incorrect slide operation discovered during maintenance. The directive complements the earlier Airworthiness Directive 2020-FATA-01020A-04 without superseding it.
Why it matters
The directive is critical for operators and maintenance personnel to ensure the correct manual operation of emergency exits, which directly impacts passenger safety during evacuations. Compliance prevents potential malfunctions of emergency slides, thereby maintaining the airworthiness and operational safety of RRJ-95 aircraft. It also ensures regulatory compliance and avoids operational disruptions.
