EASA AD G-2021-0012
NOT ADOPTED - EASA DECISION ATTACHED - SEE EASA AD 2021-0042
Summary
EASA Decision not to adopt UK CAA Airworthiness Directive G-2021-0012 addresses balloon types and models listed in UK and EASA type certificates. The decision confirms that EASA Airworthiness Directive 2021-0042 already covers the same technical requirements for inspections and replacement of certain stratus double burner hangers on these balloons. Therefore, EASA has chosen not to adopt the UK CAA AD separately.
What Changed
This decision clarifies that EASA will not adopt the UK CAA AD G-2021-0012 because EASA AD 2021-0042, which has broader applicability across EASA member states, already includes the same requirements. No new or amended requirements are introduced by this decision.
Why It Matters
This matters for aviation professionals because it avoids duplication of regulatory requirements for operators and maintenance organizations managing affected balloons. Compliance efforts can focus on EASA AD 2021-0042, ensuring consistency and clarity in maintenance and inspection obligations across Europe.
What To Do
Operators and maintenance organizations should continue to comply with EASA Airworthiness Directive 2021-0042 for the inspection and replacement of stratus double burner hangers on the specified balloon types. No additional action is required regarding UK CAA AD G-2021-0012 as it is not adopted by EASA.
