What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding new life limits and perform all applicable maintenance tasks within specified intervals from 31 March 2025. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, using Airbus-approved instructions if necessary. Additionally, the Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months of the effective date to include the updated tasks and intervals from Variation 8.1.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0058R1 is an amendment addressing maintenance requirements for Airbus A340-211, A340-212, A340-213, A340-311, A340-312, and A340-313 aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with updated System Equipment Maintenance Requirements as specified in Airbus A340 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 4 Variation 8.1. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing new or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits for components.
What changed
This amendment revises the applicability of the previous AD 2025-0058 to exclude certain Airbus A340 models not affected by the updated maintenance Variation 8.1. It introduces new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits for components as defined in the Variation. The directive clarifies that EASA AD 2024-0015 remains in effect and is not superseded by this AD.
Why it matters
This AD is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to ensure compliance with the latest mandatory maintenance tasks and component life limits, preventing unsafe conditions. It impacts the Aircraft Maintenance Programme by requiring updates to incorporate the new Variation 8.1 tasks. Failure to comply could result in grounding of aircraft or unsafe operation due to overlooked maintenance requirements.
