EASA AD 2024-0183
Aircraft Flight Manual — Section 3, Emergency Procedures — Amendment
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0183 is an amendment to the Aircraft Flight Manual Section 3, Emergency Procedures, applicable to Polskie Zakłady Lotnicze Sp.z.o.o. PZL M28 02-W and PZL M28 05 aeroplanes. This directive addresses corrections to the emergency procedures related to approach and landing with one engine inoperative (OEI) conditions. It ensures the flight manuals reflect accurate flap settings and airspeeds to enhance safety during simulated engine failure scenarios.
What Changed
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0183 requires updating the Aircraft Flight Manuals for PZL M28 02-W and M28 05 aeroplanes by incorporating corrected emergency procedures. The amendment fixes typographical errors in flap settings and airspeed values used during OEI approach and landing procedures. These corrections are provided through PZL Service Bulletin E/12.148/2024 and the associated AFM Update dated 09 July 2024.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as incorrect flap settings and airspeeds during OEI approaches can lead to reduced aircraft control and potential loss of control during go-around maneuvers. Operators and maintenance teams must ensure the AFM updates are incorporated to maintain compliance and ensure pilot training and operations reflect safe procedures. Compliance reduces the risk of accidents and enhances overall flight safety for PZL M28 operators.
What To Do
Operators of PZL M28 02-W and M28 05 aeroplanes must amend the applicable Aircraft Flight Manuals and emergency procedure checklists within 30 days of the effective date, 04 October 2024, by incorporating the AFM Update as instructed in PZL Service Bulletin E/12.148/2024. Pilots must be informed of these changes and operate the aircraft accordingly. Later AFM revisions containing the same corrections are also acceptable for compliance.
