EASA AD 26-033
Powerplant — Engine Shock Mounts — Replacement
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 26-033 is a proposed directive addressing the replacement of engine shock mounts on Tecnam P2006T and P2006T NG aeroplanes. It targets engine shock mounts with Part Number CONO21-BS from specific manufacturing batches 49-24 and 11-25. The directive aims to ensure continued airworthiness by mandating replacement and inspection of these parts.
What Changed
This new directive introduces mandatory replacement of affected engine shock mounts and detailed inspections for Tecnam P2006T and P2006T NG aircraft. It identifies specific defective batches of engine shock mounts and prohibits their installation from the effective date. The directive also provides instructions for corrective actions if defects are found during inspections.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because defective engine shock mounts could lead to engine disconnection and potential loss of aircraft control. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to prevent safety risks and ensure regulatory compliance. Timely replacement and inspection help maintain aircraft structural integrity and operational safety.
What To Do
Operators of Tecnam P2006T and P2006T NG aeroplanes must replace affected engine shock mounts within 25 flight hours or 30 days after the directive’s effective date. Concurrently, they must perform detailed inspections of the engine mounts and replace any mounts found with unacceptable deficiencies before further flight. Installation of affected parts is prohibited from the effective date onward.
