What to do
Owners, operators, maintenance organizations, and distributors should check their inventories and aircraft to identify if any parts listed in the bulletin are present. Any found parts must be removed and quarantined to prevent installation. It is also recommended to notify the competent authority and ENAC's Personnel Licensing and Operations Regulation Department. No mandatory compliance deadline is specified.
Summary
EASA Safety Information Bulletin SIB No. 2014-19 notifies aviation stakeholders about unapproved aircraft parts and equipment, specifically including components installed on AgustaWestland A109 helicopters. The bulletin lists several parts such as watches, an antenna, and a fuel filter that were lost during operator transfers and are now considered unapproved for installation. This document serves as an informational notice regarding these unapproved parts.
What changed
EASA SIB No. 2014-19 introduces a notification about specific unapproved parts that were lost during transfer between operators in late 2013. It identifies the affected parts by serial and part numbers and clarifies that these parts must not be installed on aircraft. The bulletin does not amend existing regulations but provides guidance on handling these unapproved parts.
Why it matters
This bulletin is important for aviation professionals because installing unapproved parts can compromise aircraft safety and regulatory compliance. Operators, maintenance organizations, and distributors need to ensure that these parts are not installed or held in stock to avoid potential safety risks and regulatory violations. Awareness and proper handling of such parts help maintain airworthiness and operational integrity.
