What to do
Operators must accomplish all applicable maintenance tasks specified in the Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 Revision 08 within the defined thresholds and intervals starting from 1 December 2023. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight using Airbus-approved instructions. Additionally, operators must revise their Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months after the effective date to incorporate the updated tasks and intervals.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0199 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Airbus A330 aeroplanes, including models A330-201 through A330-94u1. It mandates compliance with updated airworthiness limitations specified in Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 3 Revision 08 to ensure continued safe operation of these aircraft. The directive applies to all manufacturer serial numbers of the affected models.
What changed
This directive supersedes previous EASA ADs 2020-0054 and 2021-0248R1, incorporating new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and intervals introduced in the latest Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 Revision 08. It consolidates and updates requirements including repetitive operational tests of spoiler servo-control units and other certification maintenance requirements. The directive also cancels the earlier AD 2013-0251 for A330 aeroplanes by taking over its requirements.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this directive is critical to maintain compliance with mandatory airworthiness limitations that prevent unsafe conditions on Airbus A330 aircraft. Operators and maintenance organizations must update their maintenance programs to reflect the new tasks and intervals to avoid regulatory non-compliance and ensure aircraft safety. Failure to comply could result in unsafe conditions and regulatory penalties.
