What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all applicable maintenance tasks within the specified thresholds and intervals from the effective date of 2022-06-22. They must revise the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate the updated limitations and tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Airbus instructions or approved alternatives.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0102 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Airbus A318, A319, A320, and A321 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations and maintenance tasks specified in the Airbus Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 4 Revision 08. The directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring replacement of life-limited parts and performance of maintenance tasks within specified intervals.
What changed
This directive supersedes previous EASA ADs 2020-0034 and 2020-0270, incorporating new and more restrictive maintenance tasks introduced in the latest Airbus ALS Part 4 Revision 08. It also integrates tasks previously required by EASA AD 2017-0237, removing those earlier requirements. The directive updates the Aircraft Maintenance Programme to reflect these changes and mandates compliance with the revised maintenance instructions.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this directive is critical to maintaining the safety and airworthiness of Airbus A320 family aircraft by enforcing updated maintenance requirements. Operators and maintenance organizations must adhere to the new tasks and life limits to prevent unsafe conditions. Compliance ensures regulatory conformity and helps avoid operational disruptions due to non-compliance with mandatory maintenance instructions.
