What to do
Operators of affected Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft should install the recommended placard on passenger/crew doors 1 and 4 and emergency exit door 3 (Type 1 only) on both right-hand and left-hand sides. This installation should be completed at the next slide raft overhaul or within 36 months from the notice's issue date, whichever is later, following the instructions in the relevant Airbus Service Bulletins.
Summary
EASA Safety Information Notice No. 2007-12 is a safety information notice addressing Airbus A330 and A340 aeroplanes, specifically models A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series. The notice recommends installing a placard on passenger, crew, and emergency exit doors to ensure correct electrical harness routing for slide or slide/raft deployment.
What changed
This notice introduces a recommendation to install a placard on the lower door frame lining of affected Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft to prevent incorrect routing of the electrical harness during slide or slide/raft installation. The placard aims to raise awareness and reduce maintenance errors that could prevent slide deployment during emergency evacuations.
Why it matters
This matters because incorrect electrical harness routing can cause slide deployment failures, potentially delaying emergency evacuations and compromising passenger safety. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams need to address this to ensure slides deploy reliably during emergencies, thereby enhancing overall safety and regulatory compliance.
