EASA AD 2021-0124R2
Engine — Low Pressure Turbine Stage 2 Discs — Replacement
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive record for Engine — Low Pressure Turbine Stage 2 Discs — Replacement provides information regarding the Europrop International GmbH TP400-D6 engine. This document clarifies that no civil service aircraft currently use the TP400-D6 engine, and therefore no public AD exists. The record serves as a recommendation for military authorities responsible for affected aircraft equipped with TP400-D6 engines.
What Changed
This document introduces an informational Airworthiness Directive record rather than a legally binding AD, due to the absence of TP400-D6 engines in civil aviation. It advises military airworthiness authorities to issue their own applicable ADs for aircraft with these engines. The record does not impose new requirements but facilitates communication between EASA, military authorities, and design approval holders.
Why It Matters
This matters because it informs aviation professionals that no civil AD is currently available for the TP400-D6 engine, emphasizing the responsibility of military authorities to manage airworthiness directives for affected aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams should be aware that military ADs govern these engines, ensuring continued safety and regulatory compliance in military aviation contexts.
What To Do
Affected stakeholders, including military operators and maintenance organizations, should contact their respective military airworthiness authorities to obtain the applicable AD for TP400-D6 engines. They should monitor updates from these authorities and comply with any issued military ADs. No civil compliance actions or deadlines are specified in this record.
