Summary

The document titled SUPERSEDED BY EASA ADR 2022-0003 is an explanatory statement regarding the absence of an Airworthiness Directive (AD) document for the Airbus A400M aeroplane. It clarifies that no publicly available AD exists because there are currently no Airbus A400M aircraft in civil service. The document serves as an informational record provided by EASA to military airworthiness authorities and design approval holders.

What changed

This document introduces an informational Airworthiness Directive record (ADR) in place of a formal AD for the Airbus A400M, which is not in civil service. It clarifies that legally binding ADs for this aircraft type are issued by the relevant military authorities depending on the country of registration. The document itself does not impose any new regulatory requirements.

Why it matters

This matters for aviation professionals because it informs operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams that no civil AD exists for the Airbus A400M, and that military authorities hold responsibility for issuing applicable directives. Understanding this distinction helps ensure proper compliance and communication with the correct regulatory bodies for military-operated aircraft.
