What to do
Operators of ATR 42-200, ATR 42-300, and ATR 42-320 aircraft must replace components before their life limits are exceeded and complete all maintenance tasks within the specified intervals as per TLD Revision 11 starting from 22 April 2022. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme to incorporate these updated tasks and limitations within 12 months of the effective date. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following ATR's approved instructions.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0062 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting ATR 42-200, ATR 42-300, and ATR 42-320 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and certification maintenance requirements as specified in the ATR 42-200/-300/-320 Time Limits Document (TLD) Revision 11. This directive ensures continued safe operation by enforcing maintenance tasks and life limits for components on these aircraft models.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0062 supersedes the previous AD 2021-0211 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limitations as defined in TLD Revision 11. It requires operators to replace components before exceeding life limits and to perform maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals. The directive also mandates updating the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) to incorporate these changes within 12 months of the effective date.
Why it matters
