EASA AD 2021-0113
Hydraulic Power — Hoses — Replacement
Summary
The document titled 'Hydraulic Power — Hoses — Replacement' is an informational Airworthiness Directive record (ADR) related to the Airbus A400M military aeroplane. Since there are currently no Airbus A400M aircraft in civil service, no publicly available EASA Airworthiness Directive exists. This ADR serves as a recommendation for military authorities responsible for the affected aircraft to issue their own legally binding directives.
What Changed
This document introduces an advisory record rather than a formal regulation, providing guidance on hydraulic power hose replacement for the Airbus A400M. It clarifies that the legally enforceable requirements are issued by the military airworthiness authorities of the country where the aircraft is registered, not by EASA.
Why It Matters
This matters to aviation professionals involved with the Airbus A400M as it informs them that no civil AD applies and that compliance must be managed through military channels. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must coordinate with their respective military authorities to ensure adherence to applicable airworthiness requirements.
What To Do
Affected stakeholders should contact their responsible military airworthiness authority to obtain the applicable military Airworthiness Directive for hydraulic power hose replacement on the Airbus A400M. They should follow the instructions and compliance deadlines set by that authority. No civil compliance deadlines are provided in this document.
