What to do
Operators of affected TBM 700 aeroplanes must amend the applicable Pilot's Operating Handbook by incorporating the Temporary Revision 30 within 30 days of the effective date, which is 1 September 2023. Flight crews must be informed of the changes and operate the aircraft according to the updated procedures. Incorporation of later approved revisions containing the same content is also acceptable for compliance.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0164 is an amendment concerning the Pilot's Operating Handbook emergency procedures for DAHER AEROSPACE TBM 700 aeroplanes with manufacturer serial numbers 687 to 1491 inclusive. It addresses changes to emergency procedures related to in-flight fire or smoke events. The directive mandates updates to the Pilot's Operating Handbook to improve safety during such emergencies.
What changed
The directive removes the previous emergency procedures titled 'Cabin Electrical Fire or Smoke During flight' and 'Smoke elimination' from the Pilot's Operating Handbook and replaces them with a new consolidated procedure called 'Fire or Smoke in Flight'. This change is implemented through the incorporation of the DAHER TBM 700 Pilot's Operating Handbook Temporary Revision 30 dated July 2023.
Why it matters
This amendment is critical because the previous procedures could not be fully executed by pilots due to equipment that could not be disconnected from the cockpit, potentially increasing pilot workload during critical flight phases. Updating the emergency procedures reduces the risk of reduced aircraft control and enhances flight safety. Operators and maintenance teams must ensure compliance to maintain airworthiness and regulatory conformity.
