EASA AD 2019-0083
Exhaust — Thrust Reverser Actuator Fire Protection Assemblies — Inspection
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2019-0083 is an official safety directive addressing Airbus A380-841 and A380-842 aeroplanes equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines. It mandates inspection of the electrical thrust reverser actuation system (ETRAS) actuator fitting fire protection assemblies on engines #2 and #3 to ensure proper sealing with silicone fire sealant. This directive aims to prevent potential fire hazards due to incomplete sealing of fire shields on the thrust reverser actuator fittings.
