Definition: ‘component’ means any engine,
propeller, part or appliance.
Component has its own design approval or not
Type Certificate (ex.: engine or propeller)
European Technical Standard Order (ex.: restraint system
or APU)
No approval but EASA Form 1 (ex.: high pressure manifold
check valve)
No approval with no EASA Form 1 (Standard parts)

The component has a design approval

The component has a design approval holder.

How to find these ADs in the AD Publishing


Tool?

If component has a design approval holder


By filtering using the current design approval holder
No possibility to filter all « Equipment ADs »
Improvements to the system are being developed
Ex. in AD Publishing tool: ROMTEX ANJOU
AERONAUTIQUE (EASA PAD 14-160)

How to find these ADs in the AD Publishing


Tool?
If component has no design approval holder
By inserting the affected Part Number (P/N) in the
“Keyword” field
Be careful, only possible if the P/N is part of the text of
the AD
Sometimes the P/N is only specified by reference in the
applicable Service Bulletin
Ex. in AD Publishing tool: Brake Dual Distribution
Valve (BDDV) P/N A25434006-3 (AD 2014-0251)
