EASA AD 2022-0105
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2025-0121
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0105 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Airbus A380-841, A380-842, and A380-861 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations specified in Airbus A380 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 1 Revision 12 to ensure continued safe operation of these aircraft.
What Changed
This directive supersedes previous EASA ADs 2019-0217 and 2020-0198 and introduces new and more restrictive life limits and maintenance limitations as defined in the latest Airbus A380 ALS Part 1 Revision 12. It requires operators to replace life-limited parts before exceeding updated thresholds and to revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme accordingly.
Why It Matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0105 is critical for maintaining the airworthiness and safety of Airbus A380 aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must update maintenance programs and replace components within new life limits to prevent unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. Failure to comply could lead to operational restrictions or safety risks.
What To Do
Affected operators must replace life-limited components before exceeding the updated limits specified in the Airbus A380 ALS Part 1 Revision 12 starting from the effective date. Additionally, within 12 months of the effective date, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised to incorporate the new limitations. Operators who have already incorporated previous ALS revisions may credit those actions but must comply with the new restrictions within the specified timelines.
