What to do
Affected operators must perform all applicable maintenance tasks specified in the Variation starting from the effective date of 15 April 2022. Any discrepancies found during these tasks must be corrected before the next flight using Airbus-approved instructions. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months after the effective date to incorporate the new tasks and intervals.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0060 is an amendment addressing the Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 3 and Certification Maintenance Requirements for Airbus A300-600, A300-600ST, and A310 aeroplanes. This directive mandates new and more restrictive maintenance tasks, including a functional check of the hydraulic reservoirs for air leakage. It applies to all certified models and serial numbers of these aircraft types.
What changed
This amendment introduces Airbus A300-600 and A310 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 3 Revision 1, Variation 1.2, which adds the Certification Maintenance Requirement task 291000-00004-1-C for functional checks of the three hydraulic reservoirs. It also updates maintenance thresholds and intervals with new or more restrictive tasks compared to previous revisions. The directive does not supersede earlier ADs 2017-0203 and 2019-0188 but requires compliance with the new Variation.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it ensures continued airworthiness by mandating updated maintenance tasks that address potential unsafe conditions related to hydraulic system integrity. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must incorporate these tasks into their maintenance programs to avoid operational restrictions. Failure to comply could compromise aircraft safety and regulatory compliance.
