Additionally, the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme must be revised within 12 months of the effective date to incorporate these new tasks and intervals.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2025-0224 is an amendment addressing the Airbus A310 aeroplanes. It mandates the incorporation of new damage tolerant airworthiness limitations tasks introduced in the Airbus A310 Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 2 Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitations Items Revision 4 Variation 4.1. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by updating maintenance requirements for all certified Airbus A310 models.
What changed
This amendment introduces new maintenance tasks and thresholds as specified in the Variation 4.1 of the Airbus A310 ALS Part 2 DT-ALI, which were not included in the previous Revision 4 mandated by EASA AD 2024-0010. It requires operators to comply with these additional tasks within specified intervals and to update their Aircraft Maintenance Programme accordingly. The directive does not supersede the previous AD but adds further mandatory requirements.
Why it matters
For aviation professionals, this directive is critical to maintaining the safety and airworthiness of Airbus A310 aircraft by ensuring that newly identified damage tolerant maintenance tasks are performed. Operators and maintenance organizations must integrate these tasks into their maintenance schedules to avoid unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance. Compliance helps prevent potential structural failures and supports regulatory adherence under EU aviation safety regulations.
