What to do
Affected operators and maintenance teams should refer to FAA AD 2023-13-11 for current inspection and replacement instructions regarding the oxygen cylinders. Since EASA AD 2021-0180R2 is cancelled, no further action is required under this EASA directive. Stakeholders should ensure compliance with FAA AD timelines and use the referenced Airbus and SAFRAN service documents as applicable.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2021-0180-CN is a cancellation notice that officially cancels the previous directive EASA AD 2021-0180R2 concerning inspection and replacement of crew and passenger oxygen cylinders on various Airbus aircraft models. The affected aircraft include Airbus A300, A300-600, A310, A300F4-608ST, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330 (except A330-223F and A330-243F), and A340 series. The directive addressed oxygen cylinders with specific part numbers that had a manufacturing defect potentially causing oxygen leakage and fire risk.
What changed
This document cancels EASA AD 2021-0180R2, which required inspections and possible replacements of certain oxygen cylinders on Airbus aircraft. The cancellation follows the issuance of FAA AD 2023-13-11, which covers all the necessary inspection and corrective actions, making the EASA AD 2021-0180R2 redundant. No new inspection or replacement requirements are introduced by this cancellation notice.
Why it matters
The cancellation clarifies regulatory compliance by aligning EASA requirements with the latest FAA directive, reducing duplication of efforts for operators and maintenance organizations. Aviation professionals can now follow FAA AD 2023-13-11 for compliance, ensuring consistent safety standards for oxygen system components. This update helps streamline maintenance planning and regulatory tracking for affected Airbus aircraft fleets.
