Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0187 is an airworthiness directive issued for Airbus A330 series aeroplanes, including models A330-201 through A330-941.

This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing maintenance tasks and intervals approved by EASA.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0187 supersedes the previous AD 2021-0261 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and intervals for Airbus A330 aircraft. These changes are reflected in the latest Airbus A330 ALS Part 2 Revision 05, which includes updated thresholds and intervals for damage tolerant airworthiness limitations. Operators must now comply with these updated maintenance requirements to maintain airworthiness.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it ensures the structural integrity and safety of Airbus A330 aircraft by enforcing mandatory maintenance tasks. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must update their maintenance programs to incorporate these new requirements to avoid unsafe conditions. Failure to comply could lead to unsafe flight conditions and regulatory non-compliance.
