EASA AD RU-2019-322-04
Airworthiness / Maintenance Records Check
Summary
The Airworthiness Directive 2019-322-04 issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation mandates a one-time airworthiness inspection for RRJ-95 aircraft. This directive addresses the airworthiness and maintenance records of the RRJ-95 following an accident involving an RRJ-95B operated by Aeroflot. The directive includes a detailed inspection program covering aircraft documents, maintenance records, service life, executed works, emergency equipment, flight performance, and overall technical condition.
What Changed
This new directive introduces mandatory one-time airworthiness inspection works for RRJ-95 aircraft to be performed promptly. It requires operators to report inspection results to Rosaviatsiya and submit a Work Completion Review Certificate by June 25, 2019. Previously performed works consistent with Rosaviatsiya's telegram No. 141400 dated May 14, 2019, do not need to be repeated but must be documented accordingly.
Why It Matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals as it enforces compliance with airworthiness standards following a serious incident, ensuring the continued safety and reliability of RRJ-95 aircraft. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must verify and document the aircraft's maintenance history and technical condition to prevent operational risks. Adhering to this directive helps maintain regulatory compliance and supports safe flight operations.
What To Do
Operators of RRJ-95 aircraft must conduct the one-time airworthiness inspection as per the enclosed program without delay. They must report the inspection results and provide the Work Completion Review Certificate to the Aircraft Continued Airworthiness Management Department of Rosaviatsiya by June 25, 2019. If inspections were already performed under Rosaviatsiya's telegram No. 141400, operators should document this in the certificate instead of repeating the works.
