What to do
Operators must accomplish all applicable maintenance tasks specified in the Airbus ALS Part 3 Revision 09 within the defined thresholds and intervals starting from the effective date of 14 February 2024. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight using Airbus-approved instructions. Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months after the effective date to incorporate the updated tasks and intervals.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0030 is an airworthiness directive issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affecting Airbus A318, A319, A320, and A321 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the updated Airbus Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3 Revision 09, which contains certification maintenance requirements essential for continued airworthiness. This directive applies to all manufacturer serial numbers of the specified Airbus A320 family models.
What changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0030 supersedes previous directives 2022-0091 and 2023-0138, introducing new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and intervals as defined in the latest ALS Part 3 Revision 09. It retains the requirements of the earlier ADs while incorporating updated maintenance instructions published by Airbus. The directive requires operators to revise their Aircraft Maintenance Programme to include these updated tasks within specified compliance times.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it ensures that maintenance programs reflect the latest safety and airworthiness standards approved by EASA and Airbus. Compliance prevents unsafe conditions that could arise from outdated maintenance practices. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must update their procedures to avoid regulatory violations and maintain aircraft safety and reliability.
