AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

1 SUBJECT

This AIC-B supersedes AIC-B 07/05 dated May 26, 2005. The reason to issue this AIC-B is to inform about the changed manner in which Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are published.

CAA-NL has already informed the stakeholders about this with notification AA 2007-1, dated 15th February 2007, which has been distributed via the hardcopy subscription of the Sdu [publishing company]. On the 8th of April 2009, CAA-NL issued an information bulletin with the title “Airworthiness Directives Information” via e-mail to all contact persons listed in the Civil Aircraft Registry The Netherlands.

2 GENERAL

ICAO requires national aviation authorities to inform local operators of products when the authority of the State of Design of a product has issued an AD. Since 1993 the CAA-NL (and its predecessor the RLD) complied with this obligation through a monthly subscription system maintained by Sdu Publishers. In 2009, CAA-NL started with the publication of ADs on her website. CAA-NL stopped the publication of ADs in mid 2012 because the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) publishes the ADs for EASA aircraft as well.

The service CAA-NL provided, which was to inform the holder/owner of an aircraft under the EASA regime about the publication of an (Emergency) AD, has stopped. It is now the owner/holder's responsibility to make sure they receive all published ADs.

ADs issued by the CAA-NL which are applicable to aircraft outside the EASA regime (EASA Annex I and Article 2.3 Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139) will be send directly to the owner/holder. All legal provisions on ADs for amateur built aircraft, micro light aircraft and Yak-52 remain in force.

3 ADS FOR FOKKER F27/F28 AIRCRAFT

All ADs issued by CAA-NL until mid 2009 for Fokker F27/F28 aircraft (including engines and propellers) can be found on the EASA website. The ADs for these aircraft types are also available on www.myfokkerfleet.com.
