EASA AD 26-104
Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement – Abnormal Procedures – Amendment
Summary
The document titled Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement – Abnormal Procedures – Amendment is a proposed EASA Airworthiness Directive (PAD No. 26-104) addressing Airbus A330 models modified with the Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH Airbus A330 Passenger to Freighter Conversion under EASA STC 10063798. It focuses on updating abnormal procedures in the Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for these converted aircraft.
What Changed
This proposed amendment introduces additional abnormal procedures related to specific amber caution messages (COND MD VENT FAULT, COND MD ISOL FAULT, and COND MIXER OVERPRESS) that were missing in the previous revision of the AFM-S. It also corrects discrepancies found in the Flight Crew Operating Manual Supplement and Quick Reference Handbook Supplement for the Airbus A330 P2F configuration.
Why It Matters
The update is critical to ensure flight crews have accurate and complete abnormal procedures, reducing the risk of increased workload and incorrect responses during flight. Compliance with this amendment enhances operational safety and ensures that crews are properly informed about potential system faults unique to the A330 freighter conversion.
What To Do
Operators must implement the additional abnormal procedures within 30 days after the effective date of the AD by incorporating AFM-S Revision 16 and informing all flight crews. Continued operation of the aircraft must follow the updated procedures to maintain compliance and safety standards.
