What to do
Operators of RRJ-95 aircraft with more than 3500 flight cycles must perform the special detailed inspection of the outer-wing lower panel around access panels 574AB and 674AB at the next scheduled maintenance within 750 flight hours or 100 days, whichever comes first. Inspection results must be sent to SCAC's Operational Situation Center via customercare@scac.ru. If any damage is detected, aircraft operation is only permitted after following manufacturer repair recommendations.
Summary
Airworthiness Directive 2019-322-02 issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation mandates a one-time special detailed inspection of the outer-wing lower panel around the cut-outs for access panels 574AB and 674AB on RRJ-95 aircraft with more than 3500 flight cycles. This directive addresses detected cracks found during resource testing and aims to ensure continued airworthiness of the affected aircraft. The inspection procedure and reporting requirements are detailed in the RRJ-95 Aircraft Maintenance Manual and Non-Destructive Testing Manual.
What changed
This directive introduces a mandatory one-time special detailed inspection task (AMM task 57-21-00-250-811) for RRJ-95 aircraft exceeding 3500 flight cycles, to be performed at the next periodic maintenance interval of 750 flight hours or 100 days, whichever occurs first. It also requires operators to report inspection results to SCAC's Operational Situation Center and restricts aircraft operation if damage is found until manufacturer recommendations are implemented.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for operators and maintenance organizations to detect and address potential fatigue cracks in a key structural area of the RRJ-95 wing, preventing possible structural failures. Compliance ensures continued airworthiness and safety of the fleet, while providing a clear process for inspection, reporting, and corrective action. It also updates maintenance manuals to include monitoring of this specific wing panel area.
