What to do
Operators of Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes must amend the AFM to the specified revision within three months after 30 March 2022. Flight crews must be informed of the changes and operate the aircraft according to the updated AFM performance data. Alternative methods of compliance may be requested from EASA if properly substantiated.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0054 is an amendment addressing Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes. It mandates updates to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) performance database to correct landing distance data following potential wiring damage caused by passenger floor crossbeam deflections during rapid decompression. This directive supersedes a previous AD and ensures continued safe operation of affected Airbus A350 models.
What changed
This AD supersedes EASA AD 2022-0045 by requiring operators to implement a later revision of the Airbus A350 AFM dated 29 November 2021 or later. The updated AFM includes corrected landing performance data to address the risk of increased landing distances due to wiring damage from structural deflections during rapid decompression events.
Why it matters
The update is critical for aviation professionals to maintain accurate landing performance data and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Operators and maintenance teams must apply the revised AFM to prevent potential runway excursions caused by underestimated landing distances. Compliance with this AD is essential to uphold aircraft airworthiness and operational safety.
