What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all applicable maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals from the effective date. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following ATR instructions or contacting ATR for approved corrective actions. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate the updated tasks and limitations from TLD Revision 12.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0199 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting ATR 42-200, ATR 42-300, and ATR 42-320 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the updated ATR 42-200/-300/-320 Time Limits Document (TLD) Revision 12, which includes new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limitations. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing updated certification maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations.
What changed
EASA AD 2022-0199 supersedes the previous AD 2022-0062 and introduces the updated TLD Revision 12, which contains new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits for ATR 42-200/-300/-320 aeroplanes. It retains the previous requirements while adding these new tasks and limitations to the approved maintenance program. The directive also defines a specific grace period for certain tasks as noted in the TLD.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams as it mandates updated maintenance tasks and life limits to prevent unsafe conditions. Failure to comply could compromise aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. It ensures that the aircraft maintenance programs remain current with the latest manufacturer-approved limitations and tasks, thereby supporting continued airworthiness and operational safety.
