    This document cancels EASA AD 2020-0249R1, which required inspections and tests of electrical wiring between angle of attack probes and multi-function computers on certain ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft models. The inspection was found only necessary for some aircraft produced before a quality process change. Now, required actions have been included in the relevant aircraft's time limits documents through new EASA ADs 2024-0052 and 2024-0053, rendering the cancelled AD unnecessary. This notice cancels the previous AD with no further required actions.

    Issued: 23 February 2024
    Note: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) Cancellation Notice (CN) is issued by EASA, acting in
    accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 on behalf of the European Union, its Member
    States and of the European third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under
    Article 129 of that Regulation.

    Design Approval Holder’s Name: Type/Model designation(s):


    ATR-GIE AVIONS DE TRANSPORT REGIONAL ATR 42 and ATR 72 aeroplanes

    Effective Date: 08 March 2024


    TCDS Number(s): EASA.A.084
    Foreign AD: Not applicable
    Cancellation: This Notice cancels EASA AD 2020-0249R1 dated 30 November 2021.

    ATA 31 – CANCELLED: Instruments – Angle of Attack Probe and Multi-Function


    Computers Electrical Routing – Operational Test / Inspection

    Manufacturer(s):
    ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional, formerly EADS ATR - Alenia, Aerospatiale Matra ATR -
    ALENIA, Aerospatiale - Alenia, Aerospatiale - Aeritalia

    Applicability:
    ATR 42-400 and ATR 42-500 aeroplanes, all manufacturer serial numbers (MSN); and

    ATR 72-101, ATR 72-102, ATR 72-201, ATR 72-202, ATR 72-211, ATR 72-212 and ATR 72-212A

    Definitions:
    For the purpose of this AD, the following definitions apply:

    The AOM: ATR Airworthiness Operators Message (AOM) 2020/14 Issue 1.

    Affected wiring: Electrical wire routing between left-hand and right-hand side Angle of Attack (AOA)
    probes and Multi-Function Computers (MFC).

    EASA AD Cancellation Notice No.: 2020-0249R1-CN

    Reason:
    The results of tests performed on an aeroplane on the ATR final assembly line (FAL) showed that
    damage on a wire bundle between an AOA probe and an MFC can inhibit the activation of the stick
    pusher without any indication to the flight crew.

    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could possibly result in loss of control of the
    aeroplane.

    To address this potential unsafe condition, ATR issued the AOM to provide instructions for
    operational testing and inspection of the affected wiring. Consequently, EASA published AD
    2020-0249 to require repetitive operational testing of the stall warning system and a one-time
    visual inspection of the affected wiring, and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable
    corrective action(s). That AD also required reporting of the inspection results to ATR.

    After that AD was issued, it was determined that the one-time inspection was required only for
    certain aeroplanes that had left the ATR FAL before a specific procedure had been introduced in the
    production quality process to address the reason for the inspection, and EASA AD 2020-0249 was
    revised accordingly.

    Since that AD was issued, required actions have been incorporated in the ATR 42 Time Limits
    Document (TLD) Revision 18 and ATR 72 TLD Revision 22, and EASA issued AD 2024-0052 and 2024-
    0053 to require accomplishment of the actions specified in the TLD, as applicable.

    For the reason described above, this Notice cancels EASA AD 2020-0249R1.

    Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s):


    None.
