COMPLIANCE TIME
Airbus anticipates that the content of this Variation will be subject to an Airworthiness Directive
(AD). The compliance chapter of this future AD will give an implementation period for
introduction in the Operators approved Maintenance Program (OMP) of the new instruction
and airworthiness limitation introduced by this Variation. Airbus recommends anticipating the
introduction of the change introduced by this Variation at first Operator’s opportunity in order
to anticipate future AD requirements.
Maintenance task will also be mandated by this future AD and is to be accomplished prior to
the new thresholds and/or intervals provided in this Variation. A compliance time is provided
for aircraft that have already exceeded or are close to exceeding the new thresholds and/or
intervals. In such a case, maintenance task in SECTION 4-1 is to be accomplished prior to the
new thresholds and/or intervals provided in this Variation or by the compliance time provided
for this item, whichever occurs later. When applicable, the compliance time deadlines are
indicated in the table below as advanced information for Operators in order to anticipate future
AD requirements.
