EASA AD 2022-0106
SUPERSEDED BY EASA AD 2023-0112
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0106 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 the updated Airbus A380 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 2 Revision 10, which includes damage tolerant airworthiness limitation items necessary for continued safe operation of these aircraft.
What Changed
This directive supersedes previous EASA ADs 2020-0232 and 2021-0147 by introducing new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and intervals as specified in the latest Airbus A380 ALS Part 2 Revision 10. It requires operators to update their maintenance programs to incorporate these changes and to perform all applicable maintenance tasks within the specified thresholds and intervals.
Why It Matters
For aviation professionals, this directive ensures that the Airbus A380 fleet maintains compliance with the latest safety standards, reducing the risk of unsafe conditions due to structural damage tolerance issues. Operators and maintenance organizations must update their maintenance programs and procedures accordingly to avoid regulatory non-compliance and potential safety hazards.
What To Do
Operators must accomplish all applicable maintenance tasks from the Airbus A380 ALS Part 2 Revision 10 within the specified thresholds and intervals starting from 24 June 2022. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight following Airbus instructions or approved alternatives. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Program must be revised within 12 months after the effective date to incorporate the updated tasks and intervals.
