What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding new life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals as per the Variation 3.1. They must revise the approved AMP within 12 months of the effective date to include these new requirements. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Airbus instructions or approved alternatives.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0194 is an amendment addressing the Airbus A300-600 and A300-600ST aeroplanes. It updates the Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 4 related to System Equipment Maintenance Requirements by introducing new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by mandating compliance with the latest Airbus A300-600 ALS Part 4 SEMR Revision 03 Variation 3.1.
What changed
This amendment introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits for components on Airbus A300-600 and A300-600ST aircraft, including timely replacement of certain Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer Actuators. It incorporates the requirements of previous AD 2015-0081 for A300-600 aeroplanes and invalidates some instructions from the earlier ALS Part 4 SEMR Revision 03. However, it does not supersede AD 2017-0202.
Why it matters
The directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to ensure compliance with updated mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits, preventing unsafe conditions. It affects the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme (AMP) and requires timely incorporation of these changes to maintain airworthiness certification. Failure to comply could lead to operational restrictions or safety risks.
