What to do
Affected operators and maintenance teams should cease performing the inspections and leak tests mandated by EASA AD 2024-0058R2 from 20 August 2025 onward. No further action or compliance is required regarding this specific issue. For any questions, stakeholders should contact EASA or Airbus using the provided contact details.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2024-0058R2-CN cancels the previous directive 2024-0058R2 concerning the inspection of the pneumatic precooler exchanger on Airbus A350-941 and A350-1041 aeroplanes. The affected part is the pre-cooler exchanger with Part Number 67200000-02. This cancellation follows further investigation that confirmed the safety risk initially addressed is no longer considered an unsafe condition.
What changed
This cancellation notice officially withdraws EASA AD 2024-0058R2, which required repetitive leak tests and inspections of the pre-cooler exchanger on Airbus A350 aircraft. The change is based on new findings that the fire barrier function remains effective and the air leakages do not compromise fire detection or extinguishing capabilities. As a result, the previously mandated inspections and corrective actions are no longer necessary.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this cancellation reduces the maintenance burden and compliance requirements related to the pneumatic precooler exchanger on Airbus A350 models. Operators and maintenance organizations can discontinue the repetitive leak tests and inspections previously required, allowing resources to be allocated elsewhere. It also clarifies that the risk of fire due to this issue has been reassessed and mitigated.
