What to do
Operators of RRJ-95 aircraft must perform the specified detailed and visual inspections during the next scheduled maintenance starting from February 6, 2019, with intervals defined as 750 flight hours or 100 days for some tasks and 7500 flight hours, 6000 flights, or 24 months for others. Any non-conformities found must be reported to SCAC’s Operation and Situation Center via the provided email. Additionally, maintenance planning data and airworthiness limitation sections must be revised accordingly until updated documentation is issued by the manufacturer.
Summary
Airworthiness Directive 2019-322-01 issued by the Federal Air Transportation Agency of the Russian Federation addresses the use of titanium semi-finished products of non-confirmed origin in the production of components for the RRJ-95 aircraft. The directive mandates detailed and visual inspections of various structural components including main landing gear doors, aileron root spars, flight spoilers, and pylon box parts. It applies specifically to RRJ-95 aircraft manufactured in the Russian Federation.
What changed
This directive introduces mandatory one-time inspections during scheduled maintenance intervals to verify the integrity of components potentially affected by titanium materials of unconfirmed origin. It replaces Airworthiness Directive 2018-322-08 and requires revisions to maintenance planning data and airworthiness limitation sections for the RRJ-95 aircraft. The inspections cover multiple structural parts and include detailed and special inspections as specified in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for ensuring continued airworthiness and safety of RRJ-95 aircraft by addressing potential risks associated with titanium materials whose origin and certification were initially unconfirmed. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must adhere to these inspections to detect and mitigate any structural non-conformities. Compliance helps prevent possible in-service failures and maintains regulatory compliance with Russian aviation safety requirements.
