Fuel — Standby Fuel Pump — Operational Check

The document titled 'Fuel — Standby Fuel Pump — Operational Check' is an explanatory statement related to the absence of an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for the Airbus A400M aircraft in civil service. It clarifies that no publicly available AD exists because the Airbus A400M is not operated in civil aviation, and the document serves as an informational record provided by EASA to military authorities. The document recommends that military airworthiness authorities issue their own ADs for the affected military aircraft.
