Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0125 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the Airbus A350 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2 Revision 08, which includes damage tolerant airworthiness limitation items essential for continued airworthiness. This directive ensures operators maintain updated maintenance tasks to prevent unsafe conditions.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0125 supersedes the previous AD 2021-0207 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks as specified in Airbus A350 ALS Part 2 Revision 08. It requires operators to incorporate these updated tasks and intervals into their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) within 12 months of the effective date. The directive retains all previous requirements while adding these updated maintenance limitations.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it ensures the continued airworthiness and safety of Airbus A350 aircraft by enforcing updated maintenance requirements. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to avoid unsafe conditions that could arise from overlooked damage tolerant limitations. Compliance also ensures regulatory adherence and avoids operational restrictions or grounding of affected aircraft.
What To Do
Operators of Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aircraft must accomplish all applicable maintenance tasks as specified in the Airbus A350 ALS Part 2 Revision 08 starting from 12 July 2022. They must revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme to include these tasks within 12 months of the effective date. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Airbus maintenance documentation or approved instructions.
