EASA AD 2021-0077R1
[Correction] Power Plant — Engine Vibration Isolation System — Inspection / Replacement
Summary
The document titled '[Correction] Power Plant — Engine Vibration Isolation System — Inspection / Replacement' is an informational Airworthiness Directive record related to the Airbus A400M aircraft. It addresses inspection and replacement recommendations for the engine vibration isolation system but does not constitute a legally binding directive for civil operators, as no Airbus A400M aircraft are currently in civil service.
What Changed
This document introduces an advisory record rather than a formal Airworthiness Directive because no civil Airbus A400M aircraft exist. It provides recommendations intended for military authorities responsible for issuing legally valid directives applicable to their registered aircraft.
Why It Matters
This matters to aviation professionals because it clarifies that the official airworthiness requirements for the Airbus A400M engine vibration isolation system come from military authorities, not EASA. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must coordinate with their respective military authorities to ensure compliance with applicable directives.
What To Do
Affected stakeholders should contact their responsible military airworthiness authority to obtain the applicable Airworthiness Directive for the Airbus A400M. They should follow the military-issued requirements for inspection and replacement of the engine vibration isolation system as recommended in this document.
