What to do
Operators of Dornier 328-100 and 328-300 aeroplanes must install the specified placard and fire resistant gloves within 24 months from 5 April 2022, following the instructions in the referenced service bulletins. Additionally, they must amend the Aircraft Flight Manual to incorporate the updated emergency smoke procedures within the same timeframe and ensure all flight crews are informed and operate accordingly.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0050 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Dornier 328-100 and Dornier 328-300 aeroplanes. It addresses safety concerns related to the installation of placards and emergency equipment, specifically fire resistant gloves, and amendments to the Aircraft Flight Manual emergency procedures concerning smoke events.
What changed
This directive requires the installation of a 'NO PED STOWAGE' placard in the cockpit side console forward stowage area and the addition of fire resistant gloves as emergency equipment. It also mandates amendments to the Aircraft Flight Manual to include updated emergency procedures for smoke. These changes aim to mitigate the risk of oxygen-fed fires caused by lithium battery fires in personal electronic devices stowed in the flight deck.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it addresses a potential unsafe condition that could lead to uncontrolled fires in the flight deck, posing serious safety risks. Operators and maintenance organizations must ensure compliance to maintain airworthiness and prevent fire hazards associated with personal electronic devices. Compliance also ensures adherence to European aviation safety regulations and avoids operational restrictions.
