Summary
Civil Aviation Authority Airworthiness Directive G-2022-0016 addresses mandatory airworthiness limitations and maintenance requirements for all serial numbers of BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd ATP aeroplanes. It mandates compliance with the revised Aircraft Maintenance Manual Revision 95, dated 15 March 2022, including updated structurally significant item inspections and critical design configuration control limitations for the fuel system. This directive ensures continued airworthiness by enforcing updated life limits and inspection intervals.
What changed
This directive supersedes EASA AD 2015-0107 and introduces more restrictive inspection requirements, changing some inspections from detailed visual inspections to non-destructive testing. It requires operators to implement the revised Airworthiness Limitation Section chapters of the ATP Aircraft Maintenance Manual Revision 95, including updated thresholds and intervals for life limits and maintenance tasks.
Why it matters
The directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to prevent unsafe conditions by ensuring compliance with the latest mandatory life limits and inspection procedures. It affects maintenance planning, record keeping, and aircraft continuing airworthiness management, requiring updates to the approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme. Failure to comply could result in unsafe conditions and regulatory non-compliance.
