EASA AD CF-2022-18
SUPERSEDED BY TCCA AD CF-2022-58
Summary
Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2022-18 is issued by Transport Canada and applies to Airbus Canada Limited Partnership aeroplanes Model BD-500-1A10 (serial numbers R50001 and subsequent) and Model BD-500-1A11 (serial numbers 55001 and subsequent). This directive mandates the incorporation of updated Airworthiness Limitations (AWL) from Issue No. 014.00 into the approved maintenance schedules for these aircraft models. The directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing compliance with the latest maintenance tasks and limitations.
What Changed
AD CF-2022-18 supersedes AD CF-2021-27 and introduces the updated Airworthiness Limitations Issue No. 014.00, which contains new and more restrictive maintenance requirements compared to previous issues. It requires operators to amend their maintenance schedules to include these updated tasks, thresholds, and intervals as approved by Transport Canada. The directive also allows the use of later approved revisions of the AWL publication for compliance.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it ensures that maintenance programs reflect the latest safety standards and airworthiness requirements. Operators and maintenance organizations must comply to avoid unsafe conditions that could arise from outdated maintenance practices. Compliance helps maintain regulatory approval and operational safety for the affected Airbus Canada Limited Partnership aircraft.
What To Do
Operators of the affected BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 aircraft must update their Transport Canada approved maintenance schedules within 90 days from the effective date of the directive. They must incorporate all new and more restrictive maintenance tasks and limitations from AWL Issue No. 014.00. Continued use of approved later revisions of the AWL publication is also permitted for compliance.
