What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding new life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified intervals as detailed in the Airbus A340 ALS Part 5 FAL Variation 3.1. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Airbus instructions or approved alternatives. The approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months of the effective date, 31 March 2025, to incorporate these updated limitations and tasks.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0060R1 is an amendment addressing the Airworthiness Limitation Section Part 5 related to Fuel Airworthiness Limitations for Airbus A340-313 aeroplanes. It updates maintenance requirements and life limits for fuel system components to ensure continued airworthiness. This directive applies to all Airbus A340-313 serial numbers and revises previous instructions to incorporate new or more restrictive tasks.
What changed
This amendment revises EASA AD 2025-0060 by limiting its applicability to exclude certain Airbus A340 models not affected by the updated Fuel Airworthiness Limitations. It introduces new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks and life limits as defined in Airbus A340 ALS Part 5 Fuel Airworthiness Limitations Variation 3.1. The directive also clarifies that EASA AD 2021-0253R1 remains in effect and is not superseded.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to ensure compliance with updated mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits for fuel system components on Airbus A340-313 aircraft. Failure to comply could lead to unsafe conditions affecting aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. It also streamlines maintenance program updates by invalidating previous conflicting instructions and providing clear compliance timelines.
