EASA AD 2024-0117
Engine — Propeller Gear Box / Post Flight Report — Check
Summary
The document titled Engine — Propeller Gear Box / Post Flight Report — Check is an informational Airworthiness Directive record created by EASA regarding the Europrop International GmbH TP400-D6 engine. It clarifies that no Europrop TP400-D6 engines are currently in civil service, so no public AD exists. The document serves as a recommendation for military authorities responsible for aircraft equipped with these engines to issue their own applicable ADs.
What Changed
This document introduces an informational AD record without legally binding requirements for civil operators, as the affected TP400-D6 engines are only in military use. It directs military authorities to issue their own airworthiness directives for affected aircraft based on their jurisdiction. No new compliance mandates for civil aviation are introduced.
Why It Matters
This matters because operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams need to understand that no civil AD applies to the TP400-D6 engine at this time. Military operators must refer to their national military authorities for applicable directives. It helps clarify the regulatory status and ensures proper channels are followed for airworthiness compliance.
What To Do
Civil aviation stakeholders do not need to take action regarding this document. Military operators of aircraft with TP400-D6 engines should contact their responsible military airworthiness authority to obtain and comply with the applicable AD.
