EASA AD 2022-0108
SUPERSEDED BY EASA ADR 2025-0226
Summary
The document titled SUPERSEDED BY EASA ADR 2025-0226 is an explanatory statement regarding the absence of an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for Europrop International GmbH TP400-D6 engines. It clarifies that no civil service aircraft currently operate these engines, so no public AD exists. The document serves as an informational record for design approval holders and military airworthiness authorities, recommending that affected military authorities issue their own ADs.
What Changed
This document introduces an informational Airworthiness Directive record without legally binding requirements, as no civil aircraft with TP400-D6 engines are in service. It directs military authorities to issue applicable ADs for affected military aircraft based on their jurisdiction. The document itself does not impose new regulations but provides guidance for military compliance.
Why It Matters
This matters to aviation professionals because it clarifies the regulatory status of TP400-D6 engines in civil aviation and highlights the responsibility of military authorities to manage airworthiness directives for affected military aircraft. Operators and maintenance organizations need to understand that no public AD applies to civil operators, but military operators must comply with their national military ADs. This distinction helps ensure proper compliance and safety management for these engines.
What To Do
Stakeholders should recognize that no public AD applies to Europrop International GmbH TP400-D6 engines in civil service. Military operators and authorities should obtain and comply with the applicable military AD issued by their national authority. For copies of these military ADs or CQC recommendations, contact the responsible military airworthiness authority or access the CQC list under the EXPERT AREA.
