What to do
Operators of ELIXIR aeroplanes must perform a detailed inspection of the engine mount before the next flight after 14 June 2024 and repeat inspections every 25 flight hours thereafter. If any cracks are detected, the engine mount must be replaced before further flight. Inspection results, including no findings, must be reported to ELIXIR AIRCRAFT within 7 days of each inspection.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0112-E is an emergency directive addressing cracked engine mounts on ELIXIR aeroplanes. It applies to all serial numbers of ELIXIR aircraft equipped with engine mounts having Part Number PRD-00094440. The directive mandates repetitive inspections and possible replacement of affected engine mounts to maintain structural integrity and flight safety.
What changed
This new emergency airworthiness directive introduces mandatory detailed inspections of the engine mount at intervals not exceeding 25 flight hours. If cracks are found, the affected engine mount must be replaced with a new, serviceable part. The directive also requires reporting inspection results to ELIXIR AIRCRAFT and does not provide terminating action for inspections after replacement.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it addresses a potential structural failure that could lead to loss of control of the aircraft. Operators and maintenance organizations must implement the inspection and replacement requirements promptly to ensure continued airworthiness and regulatory compliance. Failure to comply could compromise safety and violate EU aviation regulations.
