What to do
Operators of Airbus A310 aircraft must accomplish all applicable maintenance tasks specified in the Variation within the defined thresholds and intervals starting from the effective date. They must also revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate these tasks. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Airbus maintenance documentation or approved instructions.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0193 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting all Airbus A310 aeroplanes, including models A310-203, A310-204, A310-221, A310-222, A310-203C, A310-304, A310-308, A310-322, AU310-324, and A310-325. This directive mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations related to damage tolerant airworthiness limitation items as specified in Airbus A310 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 2, Revision 03 Variation 3.6. It ensures continued airworthiness by requiring operators to incorporate new or more restrictive maintenance tasks into their approved maintenance programs.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0193 introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and reduces thresholds or intervals for certain tasks as defined in Airbus A310 ALS Part 2 DT-ALI Revision 03 Variation 3.6. These updates build upon previous ADs and require operators to revise their maintenance programs accordingly. The directive does not supersede earlier ADs but adds additional requirements to maintain safety standards.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it mandates updated maintenance tasks that directly impact the safety and airworthiness of Airbus A310 aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure these tasks are integrated into their maintenance programs to prevent unsafe conditions. Failure to comply could lead to operational restrictions or safety risks due to undetected structural damage.
