EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE
AD No.: 2015-0117
Date: 24 June 2015
Note: This Proposed Airworthiness Directive (PAD) is issued by EASA, acting in accordance
with Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 on behalf of the European Community, its Member States
and of the European third countries that participate in the activities of EASA under Article 66 of
that Regulation.
This AD is issued in accordance with EU 748/2012, Part 21.A.3B. In accordance with EU 1321/2014 Annex I, Part M.A.301, the
continuing airworthiness of an aircraft shall be ensured by accomplishing any applicable ADs. Consequently, no person may operate an
aircraft to which an AD applies, except in accordance with the requirements of that AD, unless otherwise specified by the Agency
[EU 1321/2014 Annex I, Part M.A.303] or agreed with the Authority of the State of Registry [EC 216/2008, Article 14(4) exemption].

Supersedure: This AD supersedes EASA AD 2014-0275R1 dated 19 January 2015.
ATA 35 Oxygen – Chemical Oxygen Generators – Replacement
Manufacturer(s): Airbus (formerly Airbus Industrie)
Applicability: Airbus A318-111, A318-112, A318-121, A318-122, A319-111, A319-112,
A319-113, A319-114, A319-115, A319-131, A319-132, A319-133, A320-211,
A320-212, A320-214, A320-215, A320-216, A320-231, A320-232, A320-233,
A321-111, A321-112, A321-131, A321-211, A321-212, A321-213, A321-231
and A321-232 aeroplane models, all manufacturer serial numbers, except
those that have embodied Airbus modification 33125 (gaseous system for all
oxygen containers) in production.
Reason: Reports have been received indicating premature ageing of certain chemical
oxygen generators, Part Number (P/N) 117042-XX (XX representing any
numerical value), manufactured by B/E Aerospace. Some operators reported
that when they tried to activate generators, some older units failed to activate.
Given the number of failed units reported, all generators manufactured in 1999,
2000 and 2001 were considered unreliable.
This condition, if not corrected, could lead to failure of the generator to activate
and consequently not deliver oxygen during an emergency, possibly resulting in
injury to aeroplane occupants.
To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued Alert Operators
Transmission (AOT) A35N006-14, making reference to B/E Aerospace Service
Information Letter (SIL) D1019-01 (currently at Revision 1) and B/E Aerospace
Service Bulletin (SB) 117042-35-001.
Consequently, EASA issued AD 2014-0275 (later revised) to require
identification and replacement of the affected oxygen generators.

EASA AD No.: 2015-0117
Since EASA AD 2014-0275R1 was issued, and following new investigation
results, EASA have decided to introduce a life limitation concerning all P/N
117042-XX chemical oxygen generators, manufactured by B/E Aerospace.
For the reason described above, this AD retains the requirements of the EASA
AD 2014-0275R1, which is superseded, expands the scope of the AD to include
chemical oxygen generators manufactured after 2001, and requires their
removal from service before exceeding 10 years since date of manufacture.
Effective Date: 08 July 2015
Required Action(s) Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously:
and Compliance Partial restatement of the requirements of EASA AD 2014-0275R1:
Time(s):
(1) Within the compliance time specified in Table 1 of this AD, as applicable,
identify the date of manufacture (see Appendix 1 of this AD where this is
located) of each oxygen generator, having a P/N as listed in Table 1 of this
AD, in accordance with the instructions of Airbus AOT A35N006-14. A
review of aeroplane maintenance records is acceptable to make this
identification, provided those records can be relied upon for the purpose of
this requirement.
(2) Within the compliance time specified in Table 1 of this AD, as applicable,
remove each affected oxygen generator from service and replace it with a
serviceable unit in accordance with the instructions of Airbus AOT
A35N006-14 (for 15 and 22 min generators), or the instructions of B/E
Aerospace SB 117042-35-001 (for 15 min generators).
B/E Aerospace SIL D1019-01 Revision 1 provides instructions for the
activation and the disposal of a removed oxygen generator. Airbus AOT
A35N006-14 (Appendix 1) includes instructions for reporting the results of
the activation (including no findings) of removed units.
Table 1 – Replacement of pre-2002 Oxygen Generators
P/N (type) Compliance Time
For units manufactured in or before 1999,
before exceeding 15 years since date of
manufacture, or within 30 days after 24
December 2014 [the effective date of the
117042-02 (15 min - 2 masks) original issue of EASA AD 2014-0275],
117042-03 (15 min - 3 masks) whichever occurs later
117042-04 (15 min - 4 masks) For units manufactured in 2000, within
117042-22 (22 min - 2 masks) 6 months after 24 December 2014 [the
117042-23 (22 min - 3 masks) effective date of the original issue of
117042-24 (22 min - 4 masks) EASA AD 2014-0275]
For units manufactured in 2001, within
12 months after 24 December 2014 [the

(3) Within the compliance time as specified in Table 2 of this AD, as
applicable, and, for generators with a manufacturing date 2009 or later,
before exceeding 10 years since date of manufacture of the oxygen
generator, remove from service each oxygen generator manufactured by
B/E Aerospace and having a P/N 117042-XX, and replace it with a
serviceable unit (see Note) in accordance with the instructions of Airbus
AOT A35N006-14 (for 15 and 22 min generators), or the instructions of B/E
Aerospace SB 117042-35-001 (for 15 min generators).

EASA AD No.: 2015-0117
Note: For the purpose of this AD, a serviceable unit is an oxygen generator
having P/N 117042-XX with a manufacturing date not older than 10 years, or
any other approved P/N, provided that the generator has not exceeded the limit
established for that generator by the manufacturer.
