What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all applicable maintenance tasks within specified thresholds and intervals starting from the effective date. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following ATR instructions or contacting ATR if no instructions exist. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate the updated tasks and limitations.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0200 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting ATR 42-400 and ATR 42-500 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated maintenance tasks and life limitations as specified in the ATR 42-400/-500 Time Limits Document (TLD) Revision 17. The directive ensures continued airworthiness by requiring operators to follow the latest certification maintenance requirements.
What changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2022-0063 and introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limitations published in TLD Revision 17. It retains previous requirements while updating the maintenance program to incorporate the latest thresholds, intervals, and component life limits. The directive also defines a grace period for certain tasks and clarifies corrective actions in case of discrepancies.
Why it matters
Compliance with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2022-0200 is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to maintain the safety and airworthiness of ATR 42-400 and ATR 42-500 aircraft. It ensures that maintenance programs reflect the most current safety standards and prevents unsafe conditions caused by overlooked or outdated maintenance tasks. This directive helps regulatory compliance teams avoid operational disruptions and potential grounding of aircraft.
