NOT ADOPTED - EASA DECISION ATTACHED
Summary
NOT ADOPTED - EASA DECISION ATTACHED is a Russian Federation Airworthiness Directive issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency concerning the RRJ-95 aircraft. It addresses issues with the manual door opening mechanism and emergency slide deployment identified during maintenance. The directive supplements previous directives and mandates corrective actions to ensure continued airworthiness of the RRJ-95 fleet.
What Changed
This directive introduces mandatory corrective actions to update the manual door opening procedure for the RRJ-95 aircraft, including installation of additional stencils and clarifications on emergency slide deployment. It requires operators to perform specific technical solutions during scheduled maintenance and to follow updated procedures until a service bulletin replacing the emergency door opening mechanism is implemented.
Why It Matters
The directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to prevent incorrect activation of emergency slides during manual door opening, which could impact safety and operational reliability. Compliance ensures that the RRJ-95 aircraft maintain airworthiness standards and that crew are properly guided on emergency door operations. It also clarifies the relationship with previous directives to avoid redundant or conflicting maintenance actions.
What To Do
Operators must perform the specified technical solution RRJ0000-OR-470-4950/A during the next 8-day WY-Check maintenance. They should continue normal operations following this solution until the service bulletin RRJ-52-00485-БД is implemented no later than November 30, 2023. Completion reports must be sent to the Irkut Corporation Regional Aircraft Operational Situation Center, and any discrepancies must be addressed per manufacturer recommendations.
