What to do
Operators of Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes must replace life-limited components before exceeding the updated thresholds defined in the Airbus A350 ALS Part 1 Revision 07. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date of 12 July 2022 to incorporate these new limitations. Compliance with these actions is mandatory unless previously accomplished under earlier ALS revisions.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0124 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated safe life airworthiness limitations as specified in Airbus A350 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 1, Revision 07. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring operators to adhere to the latest maintenance and replacement schedules for life-limited parts.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0124 supersedes the previous AD 2021-0206 and introduces new and more restrictive safe life airworthiness limitation items for Airbus A350 aeroplanes. It requires operators to update their Aircraft Maintenance Programme to incorporate these latest limitations and to replace components before exceeding the updated life limits. The directive reflects Airbus's latest revision of the Airworthiness Limitations Section, Revision 07.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it mandates compliance with updated safety limits that prevent unsafe conditions due to component fatigue or failure. Operators and maintenance organizations must revise their maintenance programs to align with the new requirements, ensuring regulatory compliance and continued airworthiness. Failure to comply could lead to unsafe conditions and regulatory penalties.
